Dinner with a soldier from Vienna

The depiction of three people sitting at a table from three sides: Janina Ciszewska, Augusta Schenkelbach and an Austrian soldier. The picture was used as an edited cut in Ryszard Ciszewski's account. Janina Ciszewska, his mother, hid 11 people for two years. It is an illustration of a scene from the period of withdrawal of the Third Reich troops from Stanisławów. An Austrian soldier stayed at home for dinner. Janina also invited to the table one of the hidden Jewish women, Augusta Schenkelbach, who spoke excellent German and whom she introduced as a German. The situation was paradoxical: the Jewish woman, the Polish woman hiding her and the threatening Austrian man were sitting next to each other, and they chatted pleasantly for hours. The climax of the scene was no less bizarre: the soldier asked Janina to hide him, luckily she managed to refuse.The story of hiding: https://sprawiedliwi.org.pl/en/stories-of-rescue/story-rescue-ciszewski-family
