We stayed at Knajp Kur until 1947 when my husband was well enough to return to Poland. Both my sisters and my mother went to Palestine straight from Germany. Zosia left with a youth group in 1945 or 1946. It was called Aliyah Noar [52].
It was the last transport for Palestine, the next one went to Cyprus. The British were not admitting anyone any longer [53]. Mom went with Jadzia. They left in 1947 legally, with papers, and they got there without problems.
I wanted to go to Palestine, too, but my husband, because he was a Polish writer and a communist, believed his place was in Poland. He had fought for this socialism all his conscious life and when it came in Poland, he wanted to keep on building it.
