It was a contact with a group from Kielce, and I even took part in one action next to Kielce.

At that time between Radom and Roszki a German general was killed on that train. I took part in this action.

But not as a direct participant, just as a service.

Also with this cart I delivered guns, ammunition, other things.

Then I took everything back. It was my role in it.

Helping soldiers, poor people and POW

Just right after the war, after the capitulation in Warsaw, there was chaos, starvation.

Committees called SKO were established. The Committee of Welfare.

We started our job there, our team of scouts.

The reason for that was helping people, who found themselves in a very difficult situation.

It means, starvation or something like that… Initially, there was no help.

For cards people could buy only paraffin oil or household detergents. There was nothing there.

We helped those people. And I started my job there with Wanda Jaskólska.

She was the French teacher at Jadwiga Queen (School).

She was teaching French there.

She was the manager of this SKO group, she was organizing everything.

Later on, after a while, it turned into RGO.

But it started later on, when the printing house started working in Przemysłowa Street.

Those were cards for Germans. Food ration coupons were there, too.
