Number 49782 in Warsaw University archives Rozental Perla born 5 VII (August) 1918 in Lipno - information about her Lyceum (second from the top)-

Document from Polish Church in Warsaw Generalna Gubernia with info about birth of Zofia Dąbrowa born in 1920. 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 send to her. The first one was used to issue a false kennkarte before she left the Warszawa Ghetto. According to this document my grandmothers name was Rozalia Dąbrowa, born Mądry. Who was real Zofia Dąbrowa and her fate, I do not know.
