It turned out that I had no-one from my family left in Cracow. I looked for them. I went here and there - the family wasn't there. I knew that the whole lot had been taken to the Cracow ghetto, and that there were no Jews living where I remembered, either on Matejki Square or on Kalwaryjska Street.
In March [1945] I went to Bielsko. The town had already been liberated, but there was still fighting going on in the surrounding hills between the Germans and the Russians. I registered with the Jewish Committee in Bielsko and just thought that I'd get my life sorted out a bit better. [The first people registered with the Jewish Committee in Bielsko on 13th March 1945, and by the end of April 261 people had reported. By the end of December 1945 there were 1,589 people entered in the register]. At the Committee they gave me the address of an apartment where there was a spare room.
I looked for my family but I couldn't find anyone there either. I knew that no-one had survived in the ghetto.
