Rescue of The Feldmans was coincidence. Mrs. Maria was going to Emilii Plater School and had no contact with the Jewish. “My father believed that we shouldn’t promote The Jewish’s trade. He wasn’t said about shopping in Jewish’s shop in our tenement house. However, the whole family was moved by the fact of Jewish’s persecution (getto, bands).” Recalls Mrs. Maria.
“Our house in Twarda street was very involved in conspiracy. There were grammar school’s completes and there was a room for students from medical academy from Flying University. For some time in our house Zofia Kossak-Szczucka (relative of my Mum) and her son Witold Satkowski were hidding. Zofia Koosak-Szczucka, called by me as an auntie, was co-organizer of Żegota. She was helping to save Jewish children with such a devotion and was “craming” them in some Polish families.” At the beginning of 1942 she asked for safekeeping of two Jewesses, a mother Róża Feldman and her a doughter Janka. They had escaped fom Cracovian Ghetto. “Mum was spontaneous, she agreed immediately but father had some resistance. He had to decide quickly but he was afraid of risk of whole family. But auntie managed to beg him.”
Mrs. Maria and her family thought that it was christian duty to help some other people in such a difficult situation.
