1942
Working together with Krysia at the MWN, most probably in the same room, was a young bespectacled man whose first name was Jerzy. Originally from Poznan, he, like Krysia, came to Warsaw after his native city was incorporated into the German Reich.
​
As it seems, it was Jerzy and his family with whom Krysia went on Sundays to various attractive locations on the outskirts of Warsaw. "We all tried - wrote Krzysztof to me - to get away from the occupation and war reality by going on trips to Wilanow, Bielany, Podkowa Lesna and more"
​
I asked Krzysztof about Jerzy’s surname. “I really do not know – he answered – during the occupation one would never ask for people names. It was too dangerous”.

​
Wilanow. Have these photos been a sophisticated "insurance policy" in case she was caught and her belongings searched? Wilanow Palace near Warsaw was a second home to many Polish kings.
Podkowa Lesna. "Located in a beautiful setting not far from Warsaw ... Forests surround the city on three sides from the east, south, and north" (Wikipedia).
​
Bielany.with an unknown family, quite possibly Jerzy's relatives.
