Our today’s interviewee:
Krystyna Grodzka (born in 1931), lived in the Praga District of Warsaw during German occupation. After the Red Army reached these territories, a Soviet officer wanted to move into her flat. However, when Krystyna’s mother didn’t allow him to do that, the soldier got furious and destroyed a bust and a portrait of Józef Piłsudski that happened to be in the flat. One of Krystyna Grodzka’s brothers got a job at a wagon factory in Wrocław. Having arrived in the city to visit him, both Krystyna and her mom were assaulted on a footbridge. Two Red Army soldiers robbed them and tried to rape them. Thanks to a random Soviet officer passing by, they were saved - he shot both assaulters. Afterwards, he admitted that the Red Army recruited soldiers also from regular offenders in prisons.
Krystyna Grodzka also talks about her two brothers who died in mysterious circumstances after the war. One was crushed between wagons in a strange accident at the factory he worked for. The other disappeared when going out to buy newspapers at a local kiosk, and was later found in critical condition at a hospital three days later. He died without regaining consciousness. Krystyna Grodzka tried to learn what had happened, but the police ordered her to refrain from further investigation for her own safety.
