My great aunt Paula, her husband Mietek, and her son Grzesio fled together eastward with my mother and her parents from Warsaw on September 1st, 1939. They made it to a Jewish refugee center in Bialistok. My grandfather was able to get a rare "certificate" for the British Mandate of Palestine. Mietek was able to get a Japanese visa issued by Sugihara san. They took the Transiberian railroad to Harbin, theb a boat to Yokohama, Japan. From there to New Zealand abd adter the war ended, to Aistralia.
