Subject: Leonard Kruk

Attached is a picture of my father's cousin Leonard Kruk (1897-1969). He
served in Anders Army, I think he was a corporal (?) Irena from Stanford
University had sent me the papers and I forwarded them to his nephew in
Poland, I'm sure he was interested. In my notes from Karol, his nephew, I
have that he and his family were taken to Siberia, he lost a wife and
daughter. A son and daughter returned to Poland, the son died about 30 years
ago, no one seems to know where he was buried, his daughter is still alive,
although I don't think Karol has contact with her. Leonard moved to England
and that is where he died.

The connection we have with Karol, is that Leonard's sister, Zofia (Karol's
mother), was widowed at a young age, and she married my mother's uncle, who
was raising my mother (aged 15 yrs.) because she was an orphan. So Karol and
my mom grew up together (or at least lived under the same roof for about 4
years). Wish I had more to offer,
janie :-)
