Esteemed Editorial Office!
For some time now I have been following publications – in any case those that are available to me – concerning the persons who went missing in the USSR in 1939, however I have not been able to find any trace of my Father. The information that I possess, and which I hereby submit, is scant.
− Bronisław Godlewski, son of Marcel and Anastazja née Kukawka, born on 29 May 1900 in
the village of Płoniawy, Ostrołęka Voivodeship, former district of Maków Mazowiecki.
− A graduate of the Police School in Wielkie Mosty, no. 2,077.
− A Sergeant of the State Police (the Blue Police), no. 3,567, secretary of the 7th Police Station at Krochmalna Street in Warsaw.
− He left his station on 5 or [...] September 1939, probably heading for Kowel; a witness mentioned that he saw him near Biała Podlaska.
− The last piece of information was also provided by a witness – a man who accompanied him on the transport to Ostashkov, one Mr Zalewski, an officer of the Polish Army who managed to escape from the transport.
− I have no other information, and our family received no letters.
I would be grateful for helping me to find a trace – any trace – of my Father’s fate.
Yours sincerely,
Bożenna Godlewska
