Today Janina Pietrasiak and Maria Lopuszanska live like sisters. They meet daily and help each other out. Maria lives in a tiny room in a nursing home, and both live alone and are not affluent. Janina lives alone in a modest apartment.
Maria’s parents were anti-Nazi underground activists and they sheltered Janina and her mother.
The young Janina clung desperately to her new family, and was baptized to fit in with them and increase her chances of survival under the Nazis. She gave up the chance to live with an uncle in the United States. During the Warsaw Uprising, the girls had to fend for themselves. Janina lost both parents and only sister, and still feels the pain to this day. Both Maria and Janina suffered from cancer. Janina is separated and Maria is a widow. Janina contacted the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem to recognize Maria and her parents for saving her during WWI. Thus, Maria’s financial status was improved.
