"Kiedy stracilismy nasza wolnosc..."
Jadwiga Wasilewska-Antonczyk



Jadwiga Wasilewska-Antonczyk urodzila sie w Pradze w
Czechoslowacji. W niespelna rok po urodzeniu zamieszkala z siostra i z
bratem we Lwowie, gdzie wychowywala sie, chodzila do szkoly i pracowala do
chwili wybuchu II wojny swiatowej. Matki nie pamieta, bo zmarla dwa miesiace
po urodzeniu brata. Cala trjke dzieci wychowywala rodzina ze strony ojca,
ktry pracowal w woje-wdztwie stanislawowskim. Jako uczennica gimnazjalna
byla aktywna w zyciu mlodziezy i w szkolnych organizacjach. Po zdaniu
matury, do czasu wybuchu II wojny swiatowej pracowala w firmie wyrobw
wlkienniczych w Bielsku. Obecnie jako "senior citizen", rezydentka Stanw
Zjednoczonych, postanowila pozostawic slad, czastke tego co przeszla sama i
reszta Polakw pod panowaniem Stalina. Nie tylko na tak zwanej "wolnej
zsylce" ale w kazamatach, wiezieniach, obozach pracy, kopalniach zlota, na
Kolymie, gdzie od 1940 do 1941 roku bylo zeslanych przewaznie okolo 10
tysiecy polskich wiezniw politycznych. Tych, ktrzy po amnestii zostali
zwolnieni i "dowlekli sie" do Armii Polskiej, bylo zaledwie okolo 580 ludzi.
Przy panujacej temperaturze, dochodzacej do -70 stopni Celcjusza, wszyscy
mieli poodmrazane ciala.
Historia Jadwigi rozpoczyna sie w dniu wybuchu
wojny, 1 wrzesnia 1939 roku we Lwowie.

"When we lost our freedom"
Jadwiga Wasilewska-Antonczyk



Jadwiga Wasilewska Antonczyk was born in Prague,
Czechoslovakia. Less than a year after her birth her sister and brother and
little Jadwiga moved to Lvov where she grew up, attended school and worked
until the outbreak of World War Two. She does not recall her mother as she
had died two months after giving birth to Jadwiga's brother. All three
siblings were raised by family of their father who worked in the province of
Stanislaww. As a high school student Jadwiga actively participated in
youth's life and school organizations. After passing her "matura"
examination (high school finals), until the outbreak of World War Two, she
worked with the textile factory in Bielsk. Now, as a senior citizen and a US
resident, she decided to give evidence to the fate of herself and other
Poles under the Stalin rule. Not only on the so-called "voluntary exile" but
also in casemates, jails, labor camps, gold mines, in Kolyma camps where
about 10,000 Polish political prisoners were sent between 1940 and 1941.
Only about 580 of them survived until amnesty and, released, hardly managed
to reach the Polish Army. At the temperature reaching -70 centigrade they
all had frostbites all over their bodies.

Subject: Re: Kresy-Siberia Group

I am interested in the Kresny-Siberia group because my deceased mother (Mary Mikolajczyk) and her family (parents and two older brothers) were deported in February 1940 from Eastern Poland (Village of Granotow) to a work camp in Archangelsk, Russia. ?She was from a Catholic family that was not particularly prominent or political. ?Her father (Felix Mikolajczyk) was left in the middle of the forest when the railroad cattle cars came to a stop on their journey northward. ?My mother searched for him through the Red Cross and eventually presumed he froze to death near that railroad stop. ?She and her mother were released from the labor camp when her brothers agreed to fight with the Allies under Anders. ?Her brother Anthony lost a wife and child in Archangelsk and later fought at Monte Cassino. ?My mother and grandmother crossed the Atlantic by agreeing to serve as kitchen help on an American hospital ship. ?My mother, grandmother (Anna Mikolajczyk) and her brother Joseph were at the Santa Rosa Camp before entering the United States via Laredo, Texas.

I am especially interested in books about the Poles who shared my mother's experience that are aimed at the 9-12 year old audience. ?One of my children has shown an interest in learning about the topic.

1945 is a bit later than most of our research to date. Karol Nikiel was
arrested by the NKWD in Bielska Biala and sent deep into the USSR. Would
anybody have any ideas on how to research this history?
Stefan Wisniowski

Especially as the story is about young people and their heroic escape to the free world. ?I understand that Father Lucjan Krolikowski is alive and well in New England. ?If you know him please pass our regards to this great man and benefactor of Polish children.

Hello Margaret,

Stanislaw Dubicki is in the list.
He was born in 193 and went to Masindi in Uganda.

Best regards,


Bert Bakker

Hi,

?

Following on from Bert Bakker's email about the cemetary at Tengeru, I just wanted to mention another Polish site at Marandellas.

?

My mother's family were based here, although Mama attended the girl's boarding school at Digglefold. It was in Marandellas that my Dziadek, Piotr Brodalka, died in 1945. He is buried in the cemetary that was close to the camp.

?

Until recently (about 2 years ago) we weren't quite?sure about what had happened to this graveyard. We were prompted to investigate when my cousin and her husband travelled to Zimbabwe to find the?old camp, and reported back to us that the place had been replaced by a new housing devlopemnt. This, as you can imagine, upset my mother greatly. So I rang the embassy of Zimbabwe in London several times to ask for information, but drew a blank - they really weren't interested in helping.

?

It was then that somebody suggested we write to the Misja Katolicka in London to see if they could help us. Through them, we were given the name and address of a Polish missionary based not far from Morondera. We sent him a letter. A few weeks later, back came a reply that he had travelled to Morondera and managed to locate the Polish cemetary. He said it was very overgrown and that some of the stone crosses had been broken. But, he also promised us that he would clean the graveyard - this he did with help from people in his parish.

?

We now have photos of my grandfather's grave.

?

My mother still writes to the priest and we send him donations to help with the unkeep of the cemetary.

?

I also mention this now, because All Soul's Day is?approaching and many Poles will be visiting their family's graves. We will be in Rugby where my Babcia and Tata are buried. But, it will also be good to know that the Polish graves in Morondera will also be blessed again this year.

?

Pozdrowienia,

?

I am looking for any Bakker/Bekker surnames in relation to my family,
Golinski.
My Grandmother - Katarzyna Golinski - remarried in Africa, possibly
Rhodesia, & all we know is that her second husband's surname was
Bakker or Bekker, & his christian name may have been Billy. They had
a daughter (also called Katarzyna), but I have no further information
at this time.
Are there any members able to help?

Regards

Tony Golinski

Great News.

Its strange how our lives change with a simple email or even a short
phone call that one reads or makes. Today I was reading the messages
sent from the group, & came across a message from someone looking for
Golinski's.
The Golinski's being looked for were my father & uncle - the person
looking turned out to be my cousin, who I had no idea existed!

I would like to say a big "HELLO" to my cousin Anna Coates. It was
fantastic to talk to you, the family are all over the moon to hear
from you, & we look forward to speaking to you again soon.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Stefan
Wisniowski, Linda, and Tadeusz for all their help & advice.

Regards

Tony Golinski

This is very helpful - thank you.

One point, MOD does not reply to e-mails - probably their e-mail

address is

obsolete.

As for SI, they are not currently in the information access

business like

MOD is. Perhaps in the future?
