Gs87

Until September 1, 1939, I was a Polish girl. Once the Germans occupied Przemysl, I became a sub-human Jew. For the next year and a half, Eastern Poland was occupied by the Soviets. My father became an enemy of the state, Bourgeois, and all our possessions were taken from us. My father moved us to Lwow, and in 1941, we were forced to live in the ghetto. In 1942, I spent six weeks in hiding in a pitch-dark cellar. When I returned to the ghetto, I was told that that my mother was sent to Belzek. After the war, I learned that my father had perished at the hands of Nazi police for helping to save fellow Jews.
