A heartfelt letter from Anna Zimmermann made the seriously ill Natalia Zajczyk decide to leave with her daughter Zosia to visit her sister in Israel. Anna wrote: "My beloved Naciuń, our sweet Zosia! How happy I was to receive your letter! You have no idea how much health you bring me when you write to me. True, I would be happy if you felt better, but I have an unshakeable faith, knowing your disposition, that if we are together then you will certainly feel better! [Nacia dear! If only you knew what a mistake you are making in not deciding to come to me! Believe me, I have not changed! I probably do not need to prove to You whether my heart for my own, sick sister is still vibrating, or has iced over... [...] Do You for one moment doubt that Zosieńka will find a home with us? [You will see that we will still forget together the bad and nightmarish times! I have already told you so many times that there are so few of us left, that we should be together!" (The letter from Anna Zimmermann to Natalia Zajczyk from 25 May 1950). | Renata Piątkowska
