Eighty years ago, on April 18, 1942, the Germans murdered a group of 14 young women in the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp, who were sent there from Lublin. Among them were two sisters Gra\u017cyna and Apolonia Chrostowski.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Gra\u017cyna Chrostowska was born on September 20, 1921 in Lublin. She was the daughter of Micha\u0142 and Wanda n\u00e9e Pomianowska. Her parents took care of the patriotic upbringing of both daughters. After the death of Wanda Chrostowska, the entire educational effort burdened their father. Before the outbreak of World War II, both sisters received secondary education, and Apolonia, who was one year older, even began studying journalism in Warsaw. Gra\u017cyna showed a passion for the humanities while studying in a girls’ gymnasium. She wrote poems, was involved in artistic activities in the school theater, and was interested in film. Her home patriotic education was strengthened and expanded as the scout.<\/p>\n

After graduating from high school in 1939, Gra\u017cyna planned to start her studies. The invasion of the Third Reich on September 1, 1939, thwarted these plans. In her hometown Lublin, occupied by the Germans, underground organizations started to operate quite quickly. One of them was the Komenda Obro\u0144c\u00f3w Polski (KOP), which conducted intelligence and subversive activities. The underground newspaper Polska \u017byje was also published in Lublin. Micha\u0142 Chrostowski and his two daughters conducted underground activities in the KOP, and their apartment was often a place for underground meetings.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in January 1941, Apolonia and in May her sister and father were arrested. All of them suffered a brutal investigation by the German Gestapo. Micha\u0142 Chrostowski was transported to KL Auschwitz, where he was murdered. In September 1941, both sisters were transported with other prisoners to KL Ravensbr\u00fcck. During her stay in the camp, Gra\u017cyna Chrostowska wrote poems, the last of them titled “Anxiety” was created a few days before her death. Both sisters were murdered by the Germans along with twelve other young prisoners on April 18, 1942. Gra\u017cyna Chrostowska’s camp poems survived because their fellow prisoners learned them by heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
