Jan Kujawa (born 16.02.1923) recounts his youth and life in the village of Słupka near Konin, where he lived with his parents, Walenty and Janina, and his siblings.

Jan Kujawa also recalls how about 100 priests and 4 bishops who were imprisoned in the monastery were brought to the nearby Ląd. Jan supplied them with food and medicine.
