Krystyna's Story



When Krystyna was 7 years old her and her family went in to hiding in the sewers under the streats of Lvov (a city in Poland). Her family and twenty other people had to sit all day and all night against the sides of the sewer for five weeks. After those five weeks they were discovered by sewer workers and had to move to another section of the sewer. Finally after forteen months the war ended and they came out of hiding and where able to see the sunshine for the first time since they had gone into hiding.

Krystyna was brave because she was quiet and even though she was afraid of the rats she didn't run away, she stayed hidden. She was always wishing that she could come out of the sewer and see the sun, and the flowers, and play with the other children in the park. But she respected her parents comands and sat quiet for forteen months. This is an accomplishment for a little girl that would much rather run around and play.
