During World War II, Wiesława Żmijewska (born in 1935) lived with her mother Jadwiga and her three siblings in the village of Smoły (Mazowieckie Province). In the spring of 1943, they gave shelter for a 9-year-old Jewish boy, Josek Alterwein (Józef Małecki), who escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto. Wiesława Żmijewska’s family hid the boy until the end of the war. We present her account from the oral history collection of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
