- 
Probably in August I went to Vilnius.
 - 
I needed to meet people who had some contacts,
 - 
knew more about the world around to find out something from them.
 - 
And I found out, that on their balcony overgrown with vines, a married couple was hidden.
 - 
She was a daughter of the best dentist of Vilnius, who was a Jew.
 - 
he a lawyer from Sosnowiec,
 - 
who escaped from the Germans, came to Vilnius, met Hana and married her.
 - 
They were living on the balcony, were scared.
 - 
They had some papers, I do not even know how it was with those papers.
 - 
Their last name was real, the good type.
 - 
Hana was a blue-eyed blonde, nobody could really say she was a Jew.
 - 
Arnold also did not look like a Jew.
 - 
And they were definitely willing to leave Vilnius.
 - 
I went to Orwidów and said to this married couple
 - 
they had to be very careful as the more shady people lived in here, the bigger danger of betrayal was.
 - 
I told them that there is a situation like that and if they or rather we can decide to help.
 - 
I brought the Minkowski family.
 - 
There was a huge problem with them as they were very scared.
 - 
In Niemenczyn – that was a little town with a ghetto.
 - 
So the Minkowski´s were really scared to know that seven kilometers from us was a ghetto, thinking this a big risk.
