Probably in August I went to Vilnius.

I needed to meet people who had some contacts,

knew more about the world around to find out something from them.

And I found out, that on their balcony overgrown with vines, a married couple was hidden.

he a lawyer from Sosnowiec,

They were living on the balcony, were scared.

They had some papers, I do not even know how it was with those papers.

Their last name was real, the good type.

Hana was a blue-eyed blonde, nobody could really say she was a Jew.

Arnold also did not look like a Jew.

And they were definitely willing to leave Vilnius.

I went to Orwidów and said to this married couple

they had to be very careful as the more shady people lived in here, the bigger danger of betrayal was.

I told them that there is a situation like that and if they or rather we can decide to help.

I brought the Minkowski family.

There was a huge problem with them as they were very scared.

In Niemenczyn – that was a little town with a ghetto.
