Kazimiera Skorupińska
| Name: | Kazimiera Skorupińska |
| Description: | Father was a policeman. As a young man, he had been part of the Polish Military organization “PAW” and was in the reserves when the war broke out. He was called up to join the active forces, and he was to train new soldiers coming into the ranks. But nothing came of this, because the Germans overran Poland in very quick order, so the young soldiers never did reach the training centres, and they all came back. In the interim, Father had orders to liquidate the Police stations, and burn the documents, and destroy everything. He travelled to Kalusz, because that was the gathering place for the police. Because the police were to escape to Romania. So they were all gathering there. I reached there with Mother, but a little later, and Father was already sitting in the car, and was leaving. So I never even got to say goodbye to him. The last I saw him was when he was sitting in the car, and he waved. They were to go to Romania. But in the meantime, he met a friend who was also a policeman, and he told Father that he wanted to stop and say goodbye to his family. So they stopped there, and the goodbyes were somewhat lengthy, and so they had to spend the night there. They were hiding in the attic, but somehow the Russians learned of this, so they came and got Father and the other man, and they brought them back to Kalusz, to jail. Mother would go there and bring him some necessities – food, clothing, cigarettes. We went back to the village of Nowisy to get more things from our home, because we were staying with friends in Kalusz. When Mother went back to see him, Father was no longer there, and they said that he had been taken to Stanislawow |
