Everything would have been all right but for Mrs. Róża was sick. A doctor found by Mrs. Maria’s Mum said that it was tuberculosis and Mrs. Róża had to be taken to a country side. Mrs. Roża and Janka were taken to Milanówek to a small cottage. Mrs. Roża always keep Janka very close therefore the girl was infected. After a month Mrs. Maria’s mother took them from Milanówek and placed Mrs. Róża in hospital Dzieciątka Jezus. “Doctors and nurses took care very well of Mrs. Roża. My Mum was cooking for her some delicious things that we didn’t have at home. For us it was obvious!” says Mrs. Maria.
Dying Mrs. Róża told Mrs. Maria’s mother that she had a brother named Zwanzigar in the USA, who had left at age of 16. Mother got his adress from Mrs. Róża to find him after the war. “My mother rewrote the adress and sewed it in our coats” says Mrs. Maria. After the war Janka managed to contact with her uncle.
