Tuesday, August 4, 2009 Y 11:49 AM Today Janina Pietrasiak and Maria Lopuszanska live like sisters. They meet daily and help each other out. Both lives alone and are not affluent. Maria’s parents were anti-Nazi underground activists who sheltered Janina and her mother. When her mother died of tuberculosis, Janina clung desperately to her new family. She was baptized to become part of the family to avoid being detected and killed by the Nazis. She gave up the chance to live with an uncle. During war, they have to fend for themselves. Maria's father was sick and her mother was demonstrating against the Nazis. Maria was like a mother to Janina as she lost both parents. Her only sibling survived the war but later committed suicide. Both suffered from cancer. Janina is separated while Maria is a widow. Janina contacted the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem to recognise Maria and her parents for saving her during WWII. The cash can improve Maria’s financial situation. (148 Words) Done By: Vanessa Tan (18) Class: 2E2; Respect 2
