Wisia Siebeneichen
Born on 26 August 1924 in Warsaw (Poland), Jadwiga's father worked at the Polish Republic Police Station in Gdansk. In 1935, the family moved to Warsaw where her father, Alfred, held senior government positions. In September 1939, Alfred was ordered to go to France to manage the Polish monetary funds that had been transferred there. He helped to set up the Villard-de-Lans high school, which Jadwiga entered in 1940. She passed her baccalaureate in 1943 and joined the Resistance. Her father was arrested in 1944 and deported to a concentration camp. Life became difficult. She got a job at the Grand Adret sanatorium in Villard-de-Lans. When Alfred returned from deportation, the whole family went back to Poland. Jadwiga married Henryk Krajewski in 1948. She worked in finance and then in Foreign Affairs. Jadwiga died in 2010.
