and decided to give her last name and exactly the last name of her husband.

And the priest, in Vilnius there were 2 priests, so the priest Kretowicz, Chlebowicz,

priest Chlebowicz gave this child a birth certificate saying that she is a child of Irena and Jan Nowicki.

And again the same story happens.

I go to Orwidów and say – this story, are we taking it or not?

All take responsibility for that.

Ok, but how to explain the presence of this child

so I created the story because Irena was a white-pink blonde,

the child had also fair hair and blue eyes so we could say it was Irena`s daughter,

but the child could not say even a word in Polish,

she could speak only Russian

because the grandma`s husband

was not the real grandfather of this child.

Mrs. Melezyniuk became a widow and then for the second time got married with a Jew,

they both escaped from the Soviet Union

and they spoke Russian, especially at home in Vilnius.

The next thing was the child talked about her grandma and grandpa

so again we created a story that Irena was my cousin and escaped from Warsaw.

She was not my cousin, but she escaped from Warsaw.

It was true she worked in a hospital, was a nurse and had night shifts.
