Hiding a Jewish girl: Sonia; Gestapo’s raid
-
One beautiful day Jadzia came to me and said:
-
Nitson is asking if you would mind taking his niece to your place, Sonia,
-
as they live in the forest in the shelter and Sonia cannot stand this place any more,

Sonia is fifteen years old, is a daughter of a rich sales man in the town called Niemenczyn
-
and his Mr. Rubin Nitson`s sister he also was a rich sales man,
-
she could not speak Polish very well.
-
Does she have papers? No, she does not.

They managed somehow to leave the ghetto in Niemenczyn, they were hiding a few kilometers from us next to Drzwiniany.

Sonia and Janusz could mind the cows.

-
Next to the entry to Orwidów there was a cross.
