A CARD FROM THE CALENDAR - HELENA LINKIEWICZ

You are here:

– Here’s the address to report to. It’s someone from the underground. He will surely help you,” heard Irena Oberska planning to escape from the Warsaw ghetto. Mass deportations were in progress at the time. The Jewish woman outsmarted the German guards and soon found herself with Helena Linkiewicz. The Polish woman arranged Aryan documents for her and, after she moved to Zalesie Dolne, introduced her as the guardian of her children. After the war, Oberska returned to her profession as an actress on the stage of the Polish Theater in Warsaw.
