Hi , Maurice
This Is a big question; did Stalin know ? Was the deportation to Siberia on
June 13, 1941 linked to the imminent attack on Soviet Russia?
It is said that Stalin did not believe the spy Richard Sorge:
"Sorge supplied Soviet intelligence with information about the
Anti-Comintern Pact and the German-Japanese Pact. In 1941, through his
Embassy contacts, he learned of Operation Barbarossa, the imminent Axis
invasion of the USSR, and even the approximate date. Moscow received the
report, but ultimately Joseph Stalin and other top leaders ignored Sorge's
warnings, as well as those of other sources.
(...) the closest Sorge came was 20 June 1941 and that Sorge himself never
claimed to have discovered the correct date (22 June) in advance. The date
of 20 June was given to Sorge by Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant-Colonel) Erwin
Scholl, the deputy military attaché at the German embassy"

Hi
I and my family - my father had a No 39 passport - were warned by a friend
and hid during that night so escaped the deportation.
I was with my aunt uncle and daughter when their were taken away to Siberia
in the middle of the night and never returned.
PS did the soviets know that the german will attack in August 1941?

According to Yad Vashem, 10,000 Jews were deported during this night to
Siberia by the NKVD forces. Those were the Jews who had number 39 (meaning
"bourgeois") written in their ID card when they changed their Romanian ID
card to Soviet one. Few survived the winter of 1941-42. Recently I have
found that they were deported on this day to labor camps in Siberia,
situated in the "Komi Republic".
