After university, Martyna Maliszewska-Mank turned her back on German and art history and devoted her time and energy to millinery. She is now living her childhood dream, creating fashion headpieces for women.
Martyna Maliszewska-Mank is convinced that if they don't
it's just because they don't yet know what joy it brings.
Maliszewska-Mank is a milliner from Poland
She has a workshop in the small town of Radzymin
She studied German language and art history at university, but after graduation decided to do what she loves most: make hats
she'll will open her first atelier in Poland's capital
Her father wrote her new name on a piece of paper
“The little one must make it,” Leon Weinstein told his wife
He fixed a metal crucifix to a necklace and hung it on their daughter
he scrawled another fiction: “I am a war widow
A cold wind cut at the skin that December morning
in heavy clothes and headed for the nearby apartment of a lawyer and his wife
but forced himself not to look back until he crossed the street
Then he turned and saw a man step out of the apartment
the man walked half a block to a police station and disappeared inside
What if the Gestapo took her from the police
recalls in agonizing detail what it was like to give up his baby in 1941 amid the Nazi juggernaut
He remembers well what followed: killing Germans
calling him one of the last living fighters from the Warsaw Ghetto uprising
Weinstein was born in the Jewish village of Radzymin
He defied his elders and grew into something of a tough
he had run away from home and was living in Warsaw
they were forced to live in Radzymin with other Jews
Weinstein heard a Nazi guard say that German troops would soon send everyone in Radzymin to a death camp
Using forged papers that identified him as a Christian
They hoped that the sprawling capital would be a good hiding place
Sima had no papers; if the Nazis caught her
but Weinstein and the baby would draw too much attention
They decided to leave Natalie on the lawyer’s doorstep
Weinstein would head for the confines of the Warsaw Ghetto
The ghetto was surrounded by an 11-foot-high brick wall
More than 400,000 Jews had been forced inside the 3.5-square-mile area
an estimated 300,000 of them had been shipped to Treblinka
Nazis rationed food for those who remained
Weinstein feared constantly for Natalie and Sima and was certain he would die
We would take as many of those bastards as we could kill.”
He helped organize and train resistance fighters
he talked his way out of the ghetto and smuggled weapons back inside
the Nazis began their final push to wipe out the ghetto
“When could I have been killed?” Weinstein says
Weinstein hid in sewers that swarmed with rats and human waste
he hunted for someone who would shelter a fleeing Jew who stank of sewage and looked as though he might collapse and die
A Warsaw couple he had known before the war took him in
Weinstein asked after his relatives who had stayed behind in Radzymin
and surviving Jews began to leave the country
His first stop was the street where he’d left his little girl
but one building stood untouched — the police station
“Do you remember hearing about an abandoned girl who was taken here?”
The girl had been taken to a nearby convent
The baby was among several they tried to shelter
she was sent to a cloister in the countryside
he decided to visit a convent near the ghetto
The nun lifted the girl’s dirty gray shirt
where Weinstein became a successful clothing manufacturer
He recites the Torah at the synagogue he has attended for seven decades
He reads three newspapers and sips at least one glass of Chivas Regal
He rarely goes more than two waking hours without telephoning the woman who fusses over him
She is a psychologist known by her married name: Natalie Gold Lumer
tell stories and offer lengthy prayers of thanks
what I went through,” Weinstein said at a dinner not long ago
“But it was worth what I came away with: my beautiful daughter.”
“To have a father with such courage,” she said

Do not sell or share my personal information:
awarded the Commander's Crosses of the Order of Polonia Restituta to Poles who saved Jews during World War II
The award was handed over to the relatives of Pajewski and Kossower by Wojciech Kolarski
the Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland
The Order was also awarded to seven other people: Jan Hondra
Convinced of the uniqueness and courageous achievements of both heroes
currently a member of the Research Department of the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute
has sought to award them the Order since 2019
The initiative was first adopted by the Institute of National Remembrance with the consent of its director
and it then gained the support of the JHI directorship as an opportunity to emphasize the Polish-Jewish brotherhood in arms
visited the permanent exhibition at the JHI
Bartosz Borys from the Education Department
JHI directorship with the descendants of the awarded
Teodor Pajewski was born in 1915 in Warsaw
and soldier of the 7th Lublin Uhlan Regiment
he managed to escape from the POW camp and returned to Warsaw
and then the ‘Walerian Łukasiński’ Battalion of the Polish Home Army
Pajewski took an active part in saving Jews from the Germans
Together they went on missions to the German SS labor camps in the Lublin district
as well as to Trawniki (Świdnik district) and Budzyń (Kraśnik district)
They were an inseparable pair of emissaries acting on behalf of the Home Army and the Council to Aid Jews
a writer and member of the conspiratorial group Oneg Shabbat
After the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April 1943
he got actor and director Jonas Turkow and his wife Diana Blumenfeld to the so-called “Aryan” side of the ghetto wall; he hid both in his apartment at 8 Brukowa Street
Some of the people of Jewish origin he took care of are known today only by their surnames or first names: Engelberg
as in the case of the wife of a carpenter from Radzymin or escapees from the “Gęsiówka” prison
thanks to the initiative of Arnold Szyfman
the Yad Vashem Institute awarded Pajewski with the Righteous Among the Nations medal
Szoszana Kossower was born on May 10th 1922 in Radzymin near Warsaw
Her parents were Aron-Jozef and Sara nee Elman
structures of the armed resistance movement in the Warsaw Ghetto
Kossower was actively involved in organising help for Jews
she helped to lead from the Warsaw Ghetto to the “Aryan” side
among others: writer Rubin Feldszuh with his wife and daughter
soldiers of the Jewish Combat Organisation Hersz Berliński and Eliahu Erlich
One of the most important achievements of Kossower and Pajewski was the liberation of the historian Emanuel Ringelblum
creator of Oneg Shabat group and the Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto
The heroine herself recalled: “I got a beautiful letter from his son thanking him for saving his father”
she attempted to liberate more Jews from the German labor camp in Poniatowa
but helping became impossible when the Germans shot 14,800 prisoners of this camp during Operation Erntefest on November 4th 1943
Thanks to the help of Kołaczyński and Olgierd Ostkiewicz-Rudnicki
Emilka Kossower joined the ‘Walerian Łukasiński’ Battalion of the Home Army and participated in the Warsaw Uprising as a liaison and distributor of the underground press
and distributed them to different places,” she recalled
Chaim Lazar wrote that she was also the commander of the liaison officers and nurses
she passed through the sewers to Śródmieście
and then on the day of the surrender of the Uprising on October 2nd 1944
Kossower spent the rest of the war in the POW camp in Oberlangen (Stalag VI-C)
The Jewish Historical Institute has made efforts to commemorate Teodor Pajewski
Emanuel Ringelblum – the patron of the Jewish Historical Institute – and all people such as Fr
who together with Pajewski formed a group helping Jews
we plan to unveil a commemorative plaque at 2 Radzymińska Street in Warsaw
and it was there that Ringelblum found shelter in August 1943
after leaving the German labor camp in Trawniki
we are planning a ceremony to award Teodor Pajewski’s son with the Righteous Among the Nations medal
Teodor Pajewski and Emilia Kossower-Rosenzweig
despite many merits to the Polish and Jewish nations
did not get a broader biography and their proper place in modern history
Knowledge about their achievements should reach not only the group of researchers
As the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute
we will strive to cultivate the memory of the heroes
