I was lucky to receive it in the taiga of Archangielsk before the war broke out there. The photo is much damaged. I received it after almost a year of not seeing my family. It accompanied me (children on it) on my way to Poland through many places of this not-very-best of all worlds. It reached Gdynia together with me on the ship "Batory" in December 1957. Children saw me there - the same children, only older then I knew them, saved from the war storms. My son represented me on the opening of the exhibition while my daughter was my pilot during the one-day-excursion to the Zachęta Gallery. 7. 9. 1985.”; 1941, Zaleszczyki Village ; The photo sent to the contest named “Photography of the Polish village pre-1948” organized in 1983 by the quarterly “Fotografia” (Photography) and the weekly “Nowa Wieś” (New village).
