I don't know why I of all people got in as a political officer. Because I was a Jew, perhaps? Because in fact the political officers were Jewish. In the initial period I was staff writer; I kept the bureaucracy in our political department - not yet as an officer but as an NCO. Later I was promoted to clerk in the personnel section. My next promotion was to party records officer. I kept personal data records. Then I became an instructor in the political department: I taught 'political classes,' I lectured in Polish history, but put a little differently to now, socialist political economics, capitalist too, and I taught civic education.
Finally, in the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, I became secretary of the party [43] committee, elected by the members of the brigade and so I was at the very top of the brigade. After the commander and the second-in-command for political and educational affairs, I was third highest in rank.
