I remember from school

Pre-war Warsaw was multicultural and multi-religious, which was often a source of conflicts in the adult world. But how did the children look at it? “A schoolmate is a schoolmate – and whether it is a Jew, a Catholic or a Protestant, it did not matter at all,” says Stefan Laube (born 1930) – a member of the Grey Ranks and a participant of the Warsaw Uprising. In the ninth episode of ‘The Message’ series, entitled I remember from school, the story of the relationship between Polish and Jewish children, backyard games and the diverse educational offer of Warsaw gymnasiums, is told by:

• Isaac Wacław Kornblum (born 1926) – a Survivor, author of the book ‘Memories. My version’;
• Zbigniew Daab aka Kapiszon (born 1929) – a participant of the Warsaw Uprising;
• Marian Kalwary (born 1930) – a Survivor;
• Sławomir Pocztarski (born 1930) – a member of the Grey Ranks, participant of the Warsaw Uprising;
• Daniela Ogińska (born 1928) – a participant of the Warsaw Uprising, nurse;
• Janina Garbień née Jasik (born 1925) – a participant of the Warsaw Uprising, living during the occupation in Warsaw on Krochmalna Street, which was the border of the ghetto.
