People stopped thinking about the origin of this child and where she came from, a child who could not speak Polish.

I remember one day, there was one of our workers, she was a cook, drinking a lot,

Minkowski’s death, hiding a Jewish child

Hana had some clothes, Arnold did not have any, but she had some stuff,

-
They died there by the way.
