Escape from Soviet captivity
Lucyna Wojno was born on April 6, 1918, in Wojny-Wawrzyńce (Podlaskie Voivodeship), the daughter of Aleksander and Stefania. She was orphaned when she was two years old. Her aunt looked after her when she was small and took responsibility for her upbringing. “My mother’s sister took care of me, but you know how it is when you don’t have parents of your own. But somehow we survived… It was a hard life, and I grew up without love. But that’s all a long time ago now. Life has made a happy person out of me – I have my own apartment, I have a son who takes care of me,” she says.
Lucyna was in Warsaw when the war began, and she managed to escape from Soviet captivity after being captured in September 1939. From 1941 on, she had to work as a civilian forced laborer at Fuhrmann & Co in Munich. This is substantiated by documents from the Arolsen Archives. Her supervisor reported her to the Gestapo as a political suspect, allegedly for engaging in illegal trade.
