Journal 121 – My family after World War II
After World War II, my family had to begin a new life. It wasn’t easy. My father was 52 years old, then. He was a handyman and tried many different jobs.
Finally, he became a professional fisherman. It was a prestigious occupation in those days. My family had a small farm, too. Soon, my sister got married and I remained with my parents. They worked very hard and our family was middle wealthy. I graduated from high school and university. We had a good time.
World War II was for my family a big disaster. My older brother lost his life, and my family's properties were burned. My parents didn’t give up, but began a new life in different circumstances and our family succeeded. In 1945, the political situation was changed totally, because Poland remained under communist rules for the few next decades.
