In 1947 all former Polish residents could move back to Poland. We also had this opportunity, but we believed in our country [the Soviet Union], in socialism, peace and justice. There was another opportunity in 1957. Our convictions were not so strong any more then. We went through the period of state anti-Semitism, the Doctors' Plot [43]; these were terrible years. My husband was summoned to the state party committee where we were offered to go to provincial areas and organize a Polish newspaper there. When my husband refused saying that it wasn't quite his specialty, they had a rough talk with him and even mentioned that he must have survived under some vague circumstances during the war, being a Jew. However, there were no follow-up actions on their part.
