  • Helena Sciborowska from Krochmalna Street No. 36 was another person devoted to her work for the underground. Petite, dark-skinned widow with children, she hardly had time to deal with her own interests as she was so busy helping Jews. When a shelter was not safe anymore the person turned to Helena for help. Despite the fact that her house was searched sometimes she hid Jews or she tried to persuade her friends to do this. She was not discouraged with their coldness and rejection. She endeared herself to them and insisted until they agreed to take Jews. At the secret meetings of the organization she talked with excitement about every little success and every new shelter. Thanks to her Wladka finds new shelter at Ogrodowa Street No. 55.
