Norman Salsitz - Joining the AK
Transcript: When the AK, when I came in I was very happy. Why? Because I didn't have to hide. Before when I came in, I had to hide the rifle. I had to hide the revolver. I could only walk when it was a blizzard or it was a heavy snow. Nobody was on the street. But when I was in the AK I came out in a shiny night. When we came to our village, the girls grabbed us, they kissed us, the people came out, they brought us, they brought kielbasa, food. We were heroes. I was the same guy but before I was not with the AK. I was a fugitive and I had to be killed. So for being in the AK was a very, very rewarding day and also we were so organized, so we could do a lot of things. We demolished railroads, attacked police stations. It was all together a different story.
