I have received a couple of e-mails from group member and Siberian survivor
Wladyslaw Czapski in Wroclaw, Poland, in response to my earlier questions
about the Abercorn refugee camp. I am pleased to translate these for you (I
have combined the relevant excerpts below) - good luck with the contacts
with the survivors from the camp (just shows all you have to do, sometimes,
is ask).
