Well, unfortunately, my aunt was a great patriot. She detested the Germans.
-
She was little diplomatic and her feelings showed.
-
She paid with her life for that. Because they sent her to Fordon [near Bydgoszcz/Bromberg],
-
first they sentenced her to death for inciting a kid to burn a barn.
-
We wrote to Hitler pleading for pardon and Hitler gave her a commuted life sentence,
-
but she was immediately deported from Fordon to Oświęcim [Auschwitz], where she stayed for three days at most.

Introduction, family, Germans begin the war
-
My name is Tadeusz Sułowski. I was born on the 4th Feb 1929 in Warsaw.
-
I came from a landowning family.
-
My father, despite being a mechanical engineer and having studied in Germany, decided to stay and to live off the land.
-
The country was always his top interest.
-
I was on holiday at my grandma Wanda Rozwadowska’s landed estate in the Płock county. The name of the estate was Kobylniki.
-
And this is where the outbreak of war found me.
-
And it was still the first day when the German aircraft came dropping bombs on the neighbouring villages.
-
They aimed one of the bombs at the most beautiful farm which existed there.
-
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.
