Paradowski’s after the war

Description:

Julia Pacewicz (nee Paradowska) reunited in Poland in 1961 with her sister-in-law Tekla Paradowska (nee Dobrowolska). They were from Krzemieniec in Wołyn and were separated in 1940 when Julia and two of her children were deported to Kazakhstan. Julia remained exiled in the West. Tekla and her daughter Helena narrowly escaped with their lives from UPA bandits in 1943 who tried to break into their home and murder them. In 1946 they were repatriated, with Tekla's husband Stanisław Paradowski (Berling's Army) to Legnića in Western Poland.
