Bronisława Wajszczuk (0377) nee Sokołowska
Bronisława
(Bernice) was born in 1923, most likely in the southern suburb of
Zamoć (on Lipska street or in the nearby village) - "on the other side of
town from Sitaniec". She remembers coming to and playing with her friends
in the main City Square near the City Hall - "it was not too far from
their house". During the war, in September 1942 while attending a church
service, she and several others were rounded up by the Germans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%81apanka)
and deported to Germany as forced laborers. Her family stayed behind
but they were later expelled from their house. She was sent to the area of
Harzburg in the Hartz Mountains, where she worked in the armament factory
and at the production of aerial bombs. After the war she was granted a
visa and arrived in Canada on January 20,1949. She lived initially in
Walkerton, Ontario and in 1950 moved to Brantford, where she met and then
married Lucjan
(see).
