Anna Baziuk finds Danuta in Isfahan
Anna Baziuk finds Danuta in Isfahan - "...in the barracks for children, I could hardly believe it. I found Danuta! I recognized her - it was a camp for orphans and cadets. Danuta was wearing civilian clothes – a grey pinafore and white collar. She looked all right and well groomed. Neither of us had any hair. I couldn’t believe it. I cried and cried to see her. Then the truck was taking her away and I didn’t know where. We were both crying and I said “I want to come with you!” But they wouldn’t let us be together. After that I found out through the Red Cross that she had been taken to Pahiatua (New Zealand)." Transcript of oral history, Anna Butler (nee Baziuk)
