New born baby found after bombing

I am reading a book (in Russian) titled the "Blockade Book". At 550 pages, I understand 95% and only have to look up a word or two a page to understand the content. The book is about the Siege of Leningrad from 1941-1944. In one story, a woman was on her way to work. Bombs fell near the building she just passed by. She turned around and went to look for survivors. She describes how they had to maneuver around obstacles and climb around to look for people. She hears a voice crying from the stairwell but cannot pin point it. With the help of a young man (15-16 years), they are able to break down the door to the apartment. The place is empty but they still hear a voice. The apartment is filled with dust and with a flashlight she makes her way back into the bedroom. The bed was made of iron and underneath she finds a baby all wet with the umbilical cord attached! The child was still alive. The place was so dusty she had to have the young man hold the baby while she cut the cord. They had to take the baby out naked into the street and hold it under the coat until an evacuation truck arrived to take the baby to the hospital. The rest of the story is unknown, but what courage and fortitude on the part of the woman to save a child.
