There were no other Jews in Lagiewniki. Not far from our house, on the other side of the road, was a brickworks – those were Poles living there. I don’t know what that couple were called, but I used to play with their children. There was a girl and a boy. On our side of the road, across the Wilga, was Liban’s factory [Bernard Liban, well-known entrepreneur, owner of factories including the Portland Cement Factory opened in 1888]. He had a daughter, Dola Liban, who was a friend of Aunt Ela’s. She, I know, was Jewish.
Across the river there was also a big shop and a big tenement house – that was in Borek Falecki – and there were some Jews living there too. We used to swim in the Wilga. My Mama used to swim there. There weren’t any swimming costumes, just these shirts. And somewhere nearby there was a bridge, because that was the way you went to Borek Falecki.
