THE KIND PEOPLE

You are here:

Jan Tęcza, the son of Andrzej and Ewa, was born on May 19, 1938. Mr. Jan told us about several cases of helping Jews during World War II, which took place in Durdy and in the surrounding area in the Podkarpacie region.

– They’ll help you out in Durdy for sure. Kind people live there. I’ve heard that they can offer something to eat, and organize hiding place as well.
– As far as I know, there are several Jews in the dugout at Antoni and Antonina Durda.
– A man named Piotr Marek is also sheltering someone.                                                                        – Besides, there are two Antoni’s Lis and two Antoni’s Mazur who give food. You can also go to Walenty Tęcza, Ewa and Andrzej Tęcza, Stanisław Gruszecki, Franciszek Czechura and Wojciech Durda – they will always serve something to eat. They are kind people.
– If only the Germans do not find out, it will be possible to survive in Durdy. Poles will help,” the Jews who were wandering through the forests of Podkarpacie were sharing this words among themselves.
