The move to Dillingen was the first of several transfers within Germany over the next 4 years for the Parfomuks, as smaller camps closed and consolidated and many refugees refused to return to their “home” countries, now under Soviet control. The Parfomuk family also spent time in the DP Camp in Augsburg and, later, Ingolstadt, where Wladyslaw attended a trade school established for DPs. Although UNRRA and the IRO very aggressively pursued a policy of repatriation, Nikifor and his family refused to go back to post-war Belarus (formerly Poland) for fear of Soviet reprisals–likely execution.
