Out today's interviewee:
Bohdań Kończak (born in 1935), one of the children who were arrested for their parents' involvement in the resistance movement in Mosina near Poznań. Bohdan's uncle, Czesław Siąkowski, who was a member of a clandestine organization run by Dr. Franciszek Witaszek, was arrested first. The Germans soon arrested little Bohdan's parents and grandparents - his parents were taken away at night, while the children were asleep. Their neighbor looked after them but soon the kids were taken away by German women. Bohdan and his brother were deported to the children's camp at Przemysłowa Street in Łódź - so-called "little Auschwitz". Many children died in the camp due to inhumane treatment from the Germans. Children as young as 8 years old were forced to work and severely punished for failure to meet labor quotas.
