Reply #46: I had an elderly Polish next door neighbour... [View All]

[Lucy - Claire]

He was a Polish Catholic, displaced from his home, lost all his family, wife and children included. All he had was a sister in Poland. He had to wait 30 years to get a visa to see her once before he died.
My neighbourhood was full of displaced Polish Catholics, I was a little girl then but I remember the sadness and
depression the carried like a black cloud. Mr Jan Dublanski died a heart broken man.
I also understand why they want to disassociate, from the death camp. Many thousands of them died there too, it was not a Polish operation.
