| Meeting with Anetka. Exchange of information. She wanted to know all the details about her way from Bergen-Belsen to Sweden and about her life in Sweden. I wanted to know about her life in Poland after she and her mother left Sweden for Poland. As her Polish is just great, I dedicated my former book with words "Kochanej Anetce". |

Anetka is one of few children from Piotrków Trybunalski ghetto that survived the Holocaust. She and her mother were among the women deported in December 1944 to the concentration camp Ravensbrück. Thereafter, she was in Bergen-Belsen and was liberated there in April 1945. On July 26, 1945 she and her mother arrived to Sweden with UNRRA White Boat mission. The White boat they arrived on, S/S Kastelholm was the last boat in this special action.
Meeting with Anetka was great. It was also an exchange of information. She wanted to know all the details about her way from Bergen-Belsen to Sweden and about her life in Sweden. I wanted to know about her life in Poland after she and her mother left Sweden for Poland.
Sweden let numerous "Jewish repatriandi" to leave Sweden to search for the families i Poland. Swedish government was, for this purpose, issuing the permits to return to Sweden. However, Anetka and her mother stayed in Poland until they were allowed to emigrate to Israel in 1957.
Anetkas life will be actually a chapter in my book about the fate of the children from Piotrków ghetto.
