Alina Paradowska lived in Warsaw. She was only 18 when Gestapo arrested her in July 1942 as a suspect in elimination of the informer installed by the Germans within the Polish resistance. First detained at Pawiak, she was deported to #Majdanek in January 1943. #WomenofMajdanek Image At #Majdanek Alina wrote poems like To My Mother: Oh Mother, you gave yourself up to save our lives,
Can I somehow repay you with my own sacrifice?
I dream of you and I feel your presence around,
And yet I snap back, To the barracks,
And the others’ faces keeping me astound.
