Scope and Content
Consists of photocopies of notarized translations and a letter attesting to the wartime experiences of Genowefa Dobrzawska Marcjan-Gasior, originally of Boryslawa, Poland. During the war, Mrs. Gasior and her family hid a Jewish man named Naftula Strauser (later Marian Stasinski) and a Jewish woman named Zofia Lawoczkin in their home. The collection includes a copy of a letter written by Mrs. Gasior and translations of the statements of wartime neighbors, Danuta Wesolowska and Janina Ziemianska, both of whom knew that the Gasiors were hiding Jews.
