Tag #111134 - Interview #79527 (Maria Ziemna)

For some time I worked for a dressmaker on Szara Street. Everybody in that family was dark-haired, very similar to Jews. That dressmaker sewed a lot for the Germans, a German woman would bring her fabric to make two blouses, she’d make two, and a third one for herself. And once a cousin came to that dressmaker, a black-haired boy with black eyes and said to me, ‘You look like a Jewish woman.’ That was a death sentence then, but I asked, ‘Like a pretty one?’ And that was that.

 

Later I got a job on the corner of Zytnia and Mlynarska, making clogs. The clog factory was organizationally connected to the AL on Wolska Street. I was earning very well there, but didn’t work there long.
