A CARD FROM THE CALENDAR - HENRYK AND ALBINA WIERCIŃSKI
“You’ll stay with us. Whatever happens to us, happens to you as well” – said Henryk to Fańka, a Jewish woman that made a desperate plea for the Wiercińskis to take her and her 17-year-old daughter Noemi to their family in the Głębokie village. The year 1942 was coming to an end, and the repression aimed at the Jews was ever more brutal, so the Wiercińskis decided against sending the women to an unknown fate, but rather to hide them in their house in the village of Borejki. For over two years, they took turns living in the attic and the barn. Both survived until liberation and went to Israel after the war.
