[L] Will you go back to talking about Lublin?
What was in Lublin?
[L] Antek, Celina, their meetings with the Zionists.
Oh that!
Well, when we met, they were very important
because they were already involved in that affair, what was the name of it?
Bricha. Those Zionists, they're a gang of horrible political agitators,
Ben Gurion and the rest of them, a proper gang, political agitators.
And so here to Poland... what was their secret service called? Mossad.
Mossad, the best secret service in the world. They were everywhere in Europe.
[L] But Mossad didn't exist then, it was probably still Haganah.
No, it was... you need to know that before Haganah existed, before Zionism,
before Ben Gurion and the rest of them, before anything else there was Mossad, espionage, Jewish spies.
So yes, they were in the whole of Europe,
they were everywhere, in Romania, in Hungary.
But they couldn't cross the mountains into Poland because it was snowing!
So it was snowing for 5 years and that's why they couldn't cross the mountains.
And whenever they arranged to meet here, in Będzino, with... what was Sara's name?
Biderman. Yes. Sara Biderman whom they caught,
and a second girl who was waiting for those 'Shlichim',
those odious Jewish spies who never came, until they were caught and sent to the camp.
It was a stroke of luck that Irka was alive - a crazy woman - Gelblum,
today she's called Conti - I know that perfectly well -
she was a beautiful girl, 17 years old, she had the right amount of sense,
she knew two words in German 'Ferce bitte' and 'Guten tag' and nothing more than that.
She only ever travelled in German trains' -'Nur fuer Deutsche' -
wearing a black coat and a hat with a massive brim the size of an umbrella.
She would sit in the carriage reserved for officers
and would fall asleep on the shoulder of one of the officers,
or wouldn't fall asleep but would just snuggle up to him,
and then she'd get out at a station but there it would be harder as there'd be some sort of sentry box but she managed.
She... when Sarka, and that other one whose name I can't remember,
they were put into prison because when the szlichim were meant to come,
as if it wasn't enough that they didn't turn up, they must have let something slip
because that laundrette, that laundry man who'd sheltered them throughout the whole war,
when they were supposed to come, the Gestapo suddenly turned up and took them to a camp in Myślenice.
So then Irka arrived to see what was happening there.
