| Marysia Lotersztajn 4-5 years old from Karkuszów. The parents deported from Końska Wola to Treblinka. The Mother left the child for the care of a peasant. He took her to the forest. There she was found by the partisans who brought her back to the village. The village community kept the child until the arrival of the Soviets. For two years the child went from house to house, spending 8 days in each. Marysia is well-formed for her age. She suffers from nasal catarrh. To differentiate her from the other Marysia, the children would call her "snotty Marysia". The child is disheveled and careless. She does not notice that her shoes are untied and she doe not care. I think that once her nose problem is resolved (she is under the doctor's observation, she will care more about hygiene. Marysia has a "heart of gold". She loves her Pani director. She worries when she is sick and she brings whatever she can find to her. |
