Document from the Polish Church in Warsaw, Generalna Gubernia, with info about the birth of Zofia Dąbrowa, born in 1920. The document was issued in September 1943. At that time, my mother was already in Kopyczyńce, so it is most likely the second document issued for my mother to be sent to her. The first one was used to issue a false Kennkarte before she left the Warszawa Ghetto. According to this document, my grandmother's name was Rozalia Dąbrowa, born Mądry. Who was the real Zofia Dąbrowa, and what was her fate? I do not know.
