Other Information:

Salomea was deported with her mother, brothers Stanisław and Kazimierz and Rudolf and her elder sister Aniela. Another brother, Janek escaped from the train while the train was being loaded at Lwow. Very soon after the amnesty, the family that included the mother, 3 brothers, Salomea and her sister travelled to a place Gieorgiewska close to Tashkent in Uzbekistan where they were housed on a kolkhoz and the elder children went to work picking cotton. Her elder brother Stanisław joined the Polish Army at Korbachev. Salomea's mother became sick with Typhoid and died in hospital. The three youngest children, Kazimierz, Rudolf and Salomea were placed in a Russian orphanage. Stanisław joined the Polish Army at Korbachev and registered the location of his younger siblings in the Russian orphanage. The Polish army moved the children from the Russian orphanage to a Polish orphanage in Aschabad on the Russian/Persian boarder. The children were finally transported to Mashad in Iran with the final transport in 1942. Kazimierz joined the Junacy and Salomea and Rudolf came to live for about a year in Isfahan before being shipped to Pahiatua, New Zealand in September 1944. Aniela remained working on the Kolkhoz in Uzbekistan.
