Selected text
Under her own name, as Emilia Mass, she was pulled out of the Warsaw ghetto [16]. And she was caught by the Germans in a street round-up.
And when she sat in a cell waiting whether they’d send her to Germany for forced labor [17] or anything else, she sat with a Polish woman. And that woman cried that she wanted to go to Germany so much, that she’d have it good there, but she had epilepsy and they wouldn’t let her.
So they swapped their papers. That woman went to Germany as Emilia Mass, and my husband’s sister became Helena Marganiec.
