Rozencwajg

Rozencwajg – a woman coming from a Jewish family in Białowieża, born in 1923 according to Nina Szpakowicz, (they were the same age). Her name is unknown. Her brother died shot by the Germans in Białowieża. Rozencwajg, thanks to her „un-jewish looks” (blonde), survived living in a village close to Siedlce, in a Catholic family, where she herded cows. After the war she returned to Białowieża for a brief moment, to sell her brother's house located on Stoczek (currently Waskiewicza number 200) to Nina Szpakowicz and her husband who were arleady living there, and then leave again.
