A CARD FROM THE CALENDAR - MARIA I STANISŁAW DROŻDŻOWSCY
“We have seven children of our own, how are we going to manage to feed four more?”, Maria asked her husband Stanisław with concern. They had been moving constantly for some time. Luszowice, the village where they had their farm, was only a few kilometres away from Radogoszcz, which was in constant turmoil. It was during another attempt to return to their own land that the Drożdżowski family met a Jewish couple with two children on their way. Maria, fearing for lives of her loved ones, was at first reluctant and sceptical. However, two black-eyed toddlers glued to their mother’s skirt broke her heart. After a short while, they set off in a group of thirteen to the Drożdżowski’s house. The Jewish family stayed with them for several months.
