Tag #122388 - Interview #78432 (Mieczyslaw Weinryb)

After I returned from the Soviet Union I started work in the Jewish school of the Central Committee of Polish Jews [19]. I taught Polish. It was a small school; there were about 30 pupils. I remember that we had a Jewish boy whose mother had taken him back from a convent [see Jewish children rescued by convents] [20]. The problem was that the boy was very small, only a few years old, so he had become very attached to the nuns in the convent and had forgotten his mother. We all tried to comfort the woman somehow, but she was always crying and cuddling her son.

Towards the end of the school year, in 1947, I left for Warsaw.
