Familie Witoński / Grumelin
Paris, Frankreich

For years, Rose Grumelin (Rucza Witońska), the mother of Roman and Eleonora, searched for her two children. In 1982, she met Günther Schwarberg and Barbara Hüsing in Paris. They showed her photos of the children. She recognized her son and, after a terrible moment, her daughter too. She came to Hamburg that same year:

"I struggled with myself to come here, but here I can see that although they were long forgotten, they are no longer." - Rose Grumelin (Rucza Witońska), mother of Eleonora and Roman

Rose Grumelin died in Paris in 2012 at the age of 99. Her son Marc-Alain, who was born after the war, has been coming to the memorial service in Hamburg for many years.
