After Hitler came to power, a lot of people, refugees, arrived in Poland. They couldn’t get to any other place, so of course I was aware of it and they used to come to the house, and I used to listen to stories. Just like my grandmother used to tell me stories about the First World War, all the people who used to come to the shop, the same stories. I was aware of that.
