In response to your appeal concerning persons missing in the USSR, published in the “Zorza” weekly – which I didn’t read, as I learned from the “Przyjaciółka” weekly that people who went missing in the camps in the USSR can be reported to the Editorial Board of “Zorza” – I hereby submit personal data of the missing person in accordance with the questionnaire (enclosed).
1. Jan Geremek, parents’ names: Szczepan, Katarzyna, born on 10 May 1890 in Sławno, Czarnków district, Poznańskie Voivodeship. Last place of residence: Kołomyja (USSR), Ks. Skorupki Street 8. He was interned in the camp in Ostashkov.
2. Place of work: Kołomyja, senior constable of the Polish State Police.
3. There is no data.
4. Senior constable – the police station in Kołomyja.
5. He was arrested in October 1939.
6. Two postcards from the camp in Ostashkov in January and February 1940. We haven’t received any more messages from my father, despite the fact that mother sent him numerous letters. After the liberation, the search conducted through the Red Cross was unsuccessful.
8. Helena Pobłocka, relationship: daughter, Chojnice, [...].
I cannot provide all the details as I was only nine years old when my father was arrested.
Yours sincerely,
H. Pobłocka
