My parents Jan and Apolonia
Przyszlak were deported to Siberia in 1941 and eventually came to
England via Tanganika. They settled in East Moor camp in Yorkshire where I
was born in 1952.We lived on site 8 of the camp for a number of years.
When I was about 3 I was sent to the camp's nursery school and I was
delighted to see my name on the nursery register. I then attended the camp
school until we left the camp, I was eight. My father worked as caretaker
at the school. |

|
I remember a number of
families, mainly the children that lived on site 8. Jadzia,
Kazik and Helcia Pipro, their grandparents Mr.and Mrs Mazur are
buried in Sutton on
Forest cemetery. There was Stefania, Walentyna, Celina and
Łucja Szadura, Mrs Helena Malec nee Wilczek
came to East Moor from Lowther Park Camp in 1955/6 with four
children each born in a different country,
Basia in
Poland, Terenia
in
Austria,
Henio
in
Italy and
Mila
in England. It is
amazing how families survived and stayed together throughout the traumas
of war, deportations and exile. |
|
Other names
I remember are;-Fec, Hajduk, Maliszewska, Przybylska,
Krysia and Teresa Wełna, Roma and Krzysiek
Kwiatkowski, Teresa Dubicka, Anna and Mietek Ciacia. |

I have attached some photos of life in the camp they
contain people I know and some who I would love to get to know.

three ladies are |

My godmother Lucia
Balewicz, me and my mother The other faces I know so well but
don't know the names. This photo must be from May. The
initials on the alter front stand for "Najświędsza Maryja"
Holy Mary and were done with fresh flowers. carnations or
roses. In the background you can see the curve of the 'beczka' Nissen hut. Isn't it amazing that all the photos are so
similar? We all must have stuck to the traditions so well! |
