A CARD FROM THE CALENDAR - BOLESŁAW AND HELENA TURCZYNSKI WITH DAUGHTERS
– Whoever needed, found a place. It couldn’t have been otherwise,” recalled years later Wanda, daughter of the Turczynskis, with whom 14 Jews found shelter during the occupation. It wasn’t easy, especially since a pro-German tenant lived on the first floor. It was probably she who caused the Gestapo raid. The Jews at the last moment jumped into the shelter under the floor, Wanda slid the couch, sat down, grabbed a potato and a knife in her hands and then the Germans entered. – You are hiding Jews! – they shouted. They demolished the apartment, but they did not move the couch and did not find those in hiding.
