Photograph of Halina Baruchówna with Ignacy Koral

Popularization note

One of the photos on the Korals' balcony at ul. Nowosienna/Sienkiewicza in Warsaw. Left part cut off. Halina née Baruch stands with Ignacy Koral, her cousin. In the 1920s, Ignacy Koral worked at the National Police Headquarters as head of first Department III (1921-1923), then Department I (1923-1929); according to family accounts, he later left his post as a sign of protest against the policy of the Sanation camp. Immediately after the end of World War II, he joined the Security Office where he worked until the Stalinist period (until the beginning of 1949). | Numerous group photos of pre-war policemen from his archives were thus preserved in the family; some of them were donated to the Police Museum. When donating this photo to the collection of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Agnieszka Wróblewska mentioned Uncle Inio (who never married) as an army enthusiast who had a large library of books on this subject; also as an 'army men' collector playing with them. He had the entire Napoleonic army (which had been made still before the war): 'For the children, it was something just wonderful when you were on a visit there. He'd play out Napoleonic battles across the floor.'
