Description
Experience Level: Expert
I need a native Polish speaker with good English to translate a handwritten letter from 1956. It includes sections by different family members and is about 600 to 1000 or so words (I think) on 4 A4-sized pages. The writing and ink is quite good (see scan) but the letter is quite fragile now. I have photographed each page. It is from my mother's family in Poland to her in England in 1956. She was taken to Germany by the Nazis in 1943 when she was 16, liberated in 1945 and chose NOT to go back to Poland because it was under communist Russia and remained communist until the 1980s. She was born in the village of Januszówka, in Gmina Spiczyn, Łęczna County, Lublin Voivodeship. At that time it was in central Poland but it is now in eastern Poland, quite close to the borders with Belarus and Ukraine. After the war she came to England in 1948 as an immigrant. She wanted to "fit in" so she never taught my sister or me Polish which I am so sad about, especially now as I try and trace my Polish family history (I am 65!). The letter was and is treasured and of great sentimental value to mum and now to me and my sister. Mum is now 95, has dementia and has forgotten most of her native Polish.
