    'Completely honest and industrious, devoted to the Orphanage' - according to Stella Eliasberg, 'Historia Domu Sierot' (Korczak's Orphanage's Story). She was accused of the theft from the warehouse by a new foster child, because Mrs Rozia exchanged her own 'voucher bread' - black and bitter - for white, which her feeble daughter had to eat. She had an Aryan look, spoke Polish correctly, had friends in Warsaw - she didn't try to find rescue on the 'Aryan side'.
