The hiding place like a tomb

Popularization note

The portrayal of the occupational hiding place of Chaim and Mojżesz Fryml in the Adamczyk family home.

The image was used as a montage in an account by Lucjanna Kuźnicka and Jadwiga Szczeszak, daughters in the Adamczyk family who hid Chaim and Mojżesz Fryml for two years in their Denków home. In their account, the sisters say about the hiding place: From the market you entered a large kitchen, and then there was a small room, and another - two rooms at the back from the backyard. And there [...] was a wardrobe, two beds, two bedside tables - and they came up with an idea to make a hiding place under those beds. They cut out with a saw such a square, such a rectangle... like a grave. Because there was no foundation, there was soil, they dug a kind of a grave, you could call it that. [...] And there they had a straw mattress, a quilt of some kind....
