They perished together in the Warsaw Uprising 1944


(29.I.2006)

(Fragment of an e-mail from Włodzimierz Bieguński from Siedlce: “There is one more family story – interesting, but equally tragic. In a picture placed on the Tree (see picture) is shown my grandmother Joanna nee Dobraczyńska (BG006) with her cousin (daughter of one of her aunts), Maria Michałowska, nee Rogowska (see schematic drawing), wife of a physician, Dr Zygmunt Jakub Michałowski (see text below) – who was for many years a County Health Officer-physician in Radzyń. Their daughter Janina was wife of Dr Eugeniusz Wiszniewski (see text below) who was for a great many years a Physician-in-Chief in the City Hospital in Siedlce. He was also an indpendance fighter before and during World War One (he died in 1931). Janina and Eugeniusz had a son Jerzy Wiszniewski, born in 1908 in Siedlce. Later, he became a famous biologist and research worker earning the titles of Doctor and Docent. He was a second lieutenant in the Army Sapper Reserves. During the Uprising, he was not able to reach his military unit and joined the “Gustaw” Battalion. He was wounded during the explosion of a “Tank-trap” (a remotely controlled explosive transporter) as was also Basia Wajszczuk (0084) (see). He was treated at the same hospital at the Kilinski street and perished during the same bombing raid, as Basia. I am enclosing a schematic drawing, which shows with greater precision their blood relationships than the verbal information, along with some published information about the persons mentioned above.
