My wartime experiences

It was in Międzyrzec on 10 September 1940. My daddy, as usual, went to the office, but he never came back because he was arrested by the Germans. He stayed in the prison in Radzyń for a few weeks and during that time mom and dad were seeing each other. She told me afterwards that daddy was pale and bruised.

Then daddy was taken to Lublin. We never saw him again because no one was allowed to enter the Castle. Seven months later they took him to Auschwitz.

We hadn’t heard anything more about daddy until the news came some time later that he was dead. It was the most terrible moment for us, not only during the war, but in our whole lives.
