Beginning of the Story

This story begins in 1921 when I was born, in Radom, Poland. My name is Wladyslaw, and my papa left us with my aunt with my brothers and sisters. About a year later, my papa came home with a new wife.

World War II

Then World War II, and Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Germans came up to the house with trucks, and they came to the house and they took me. I did not know where I was going! Germans soldiers, tanks, and planes in the sky, and bombs falling on the ground.

One incident was when I went on a date with a German girl, and the German soldier caught me and put me into jail. I thought I would not make it, and I was about 70 lbs and could not walk. Time went by, and my farmer came and took me back to the farm. I have survived the war.
