Right after the outbreak of the war some German motorcycles appeared, which probably were supposed to look for any Polish troops staying there.

Soon, a passenger car followed with some officers.

One of the officers got out, he climbed the porch stairs and my aunt came to talk to him, because she spoke some German and French.

The German wanted to shake hands, but she withdrew her hand.

After war life of people Stefania saved

What happened with our people?

Helena, Staś came back, the husband came back, the father died,

the husband of Helena Snarska called Lusia Wajnryb, he also was taken to the army

but they moved to France later on, and then to Australia.

They used to write from Australia but Stefan lost their address.

I wrote to some Polish magazine, I wanted to find out how they were doing,

and I got a very nice letter, I remember Helena wrote in a very funny way –

with me it is like that – when only a man looks at me, I am having a baby, I have three sons.

And with them, I could not find any contact with them.

And Sonia and her family, Sonia who was grazing the cows, they survived.

Maryśka is in Israel, I stay in touch with her younger sister Ruth Lewin,

also I call and write sometimes, she has difficulty writing in Polish.

Who else, I have already said, the Minkowski family died,

Natka died because of cancer,

we were together with Stefan, I had a paper, it was not so important to me, but it was good to have it.
