Little Sister

Kazimiera who lived in Oświęcim, was sent to Auschwitz when she was 15. She was accused of a sabotage, because she lost her german permit. Toward the end of the war, she was quarantinned and because of that she escaped the Death March. When the Russians came, she could go back to her home. But all the time before her eyes she had those poor, helpless children. On January 28th 1945 she came to the camp with her neighbour and her son. In the Gypsy Family Camp they found children together with terrified blockmistress. She saw a six-year-old girl who spoke Polish – it was Lusia Kałuszner who was Jewish. They took her home with them. After few months the girl was found by her mother, who miraculously survived the war. She took Lusia to Łódź and then to Israel. Many years later Lusia came to Oświęcim with the youth group and found her carer.
