Polish soldiers in a Bar in Jerusalem
This photo is taken in a Bar in Jerusalem. What is of interest , is that the woman in the photo is Jewish and was from Dad's village in the Kresy. She was deported to Siberia like everyone else. She ended up in Jerusalem and was already settled into life in Jerusalem. Photo would be late 1942 or early 1943 ?

Request for leave denied
After joining the Polish army in Guzar, Bronek Sokolowski wanted to return to the posiolek (slave labour camp) where he had left his family behind. Unfortunately, his timing was bad as there had been a recent order given to deny all leaves.
