The most heart-warming event, an event which brought tears to everyone's eyes, was the rediscovery of all the lost family members. This was an ongoing campaign and many agencies were involved. The Red Cross was wonderful the world over. It was interesting that my father's first wife and her family were looking for him as well.
There is a story:
I was told by my half-brother (Wladek) and his wife, about a Gypsy woman who approached Roumald's (my father's) first wife, Josefa, in Wroclaw. The woman asked for money in exchange for Josefa's fortune. My father's first wife agreed to pay for her fortune and was told:
"Your husband is still alive!"
At this time, her son, Wladek, thought What does a Gypsy fortune teller know?.
Later on, Josefa saw the fortune teller again and asked:
"Will I ever see my husband again?"
The Gypsy woman answered:
"NO, you will not meet him again but your family will."
It seems that she got that almost right. Serendipity brought us all together again. Even if Romuald and his wife were not to meet, his family would meet his children by his second marriage and discover where their father was all that time, since the war.
My half-brother, Wladek, told me this story on our first meeting. He said:
"I hate to admit it but now I see the Gypsy woman was right both times!"
