They will be useful to me here on the farm, and it will be easier for them too,” she introduced the two women who were walking home with her to the Germans roaming around the yard.

They hid with a Polish woman in a barn, and the woman only discovered their presence after a week. She fed them, brought them peasant clothes and invited them into her home.
