Other Information: Anna Adamczyk was deported with her children Jurek (17), Zosia (13) and Wiesiu (7). When they were released by the 'amnesty' for Polish prisoners, Jurek made his way south to join the Polish Army at Totskoye. It was months later before Anna, Zosia and Wieslaw were able to reach Krasnovodsk, where they were reunited with Jurek who was in a field hospital being treated for malnutrition and exhaustion. They left the Soviet Union on a Soviet freighter bound for Persia. Two days later they arrived in Pahlevi. Disease among the malnourished and exhausted Polish refugees was rife - dysentry, typhus and typhoid flourished. Anna Adamczyk became ill and died on 18 October 1942. She was 45.
