we reached Spokojna Street, it was a street in which before the war there was a province building

Helena Snarska’s escape from a transport to Treblinka
-
I need to add that as I said earlier there were two priests in Vilnius,
-
priest Chlebowicz, who gave Maryśka the birth certificate
-
and priest Kretowicz, and the brother of Kretowicz, Onufry - the old man, who used to sit in upper Orwidów,
-
he also gave two false birth certificates.
-
In the upper Orwidów also was a lady, who escaped from the train going to Treblinka
-
and the priest Kretowicz sent her to his brother's wife to help at the farm house
-
Her name was Helena Strumińska,
-
something like that, well. Mrs. Helena, well, I felt that something was wrong with her.
-
Mrs. Helena was a surgeon, the daughter of a doctor from Vilnius, a Jew.
-
What happened? Well, her story was this.
-
She escaped from Warsaw with her husband, he also was a doctor.
