My babcia Julia Pacewicz nee Paradowska born Krzemieniec 1900. She was deported to Kazakhstan on 13th April 1940 from Rowne with two of her children Wladyslaw (my father) and Jadwiga. Her eldest son Jozef missed the arrest and was not allowed on the cattle wagon with them. Julia's husband (my grandfather) Jan Pacewicz, PP, was murdered in the Katyn massacre. After release from the USSR with Anders Army, Julia was a refugee in Koja, East Africa and settled in the UK in 1948.
