  • A card from the calendar - Apolonia Trębicka and Marian Trębicki

The Trębicki siblings lived together in harmony, respected, loved and always helped each other. They also had no secrets from each other, because why should they. Living in a small cabin in the countryside with their elderly parents, they tried to live a fairly ordinary life, even if there was war and conflagration outside. They felt they had always been here, inextricably attached to land and place where they lived, even their surname sounded like the name of the village. Trębice Górne, where they lived, was surrounded by dense forests. They knew them inside out, having played there as children, and now they used this knowledge of area to save a man. Wasyl, a Jew from their village had been hiding there for a long time. They provided him with food several times a week, regardless of weather and season, skilfully avoiding all German patrols.
