I lived in Czerniakow and met my boyfriend there, Tadeusz. It was very funny, because when he saw me, he started singing the following song: ‘I know nothing about you, where the wind brought you from, I don’t know your virtues, I don’t know your faults, I know only one thing, and I want to know one thing, what you did with my heart.’ Our affection began. He was in the AK, I was in the AL, when I was posting up leaflets on houses, he would come with me to protect me; later he helped me move to another house.
I had a couple of pictures on me, and on one picture, from my school friend Marysia Zemlik, there was written: ‘To dear Zipperek – Marysia’ [‘Zipperek’ - diminutive of the maiden name of Mrs. Maria Ziemna: Zipper]. The housekeeper of the house I lived in apparently went through my things when I was away and saw the picture, and told Tadeusz. He repeated it to me, I confessed who I was, and cut that caption off [the picture].
