  • A historian. Stefania Sempolowska's collaborator. Committed suicide, because she was afraid of being discovered on the 'Aryan side' (B.T.-B.). Cared about her appearance too much, she used to spend hours in front of the mirror doing her make up. She was obsessed with keeping her meetings and conversations secret, she was unable to talk normally in the street or in a cafe. Helped Jews before any committees were set up, and her help was not restricted to giving a monthly allowance, but it also involved attempts to find flats, jobs, clothing and people who could looks after children.
