Interview day

The project group was very excited on the 5th of Feb. It was time to prove ourselves. After eating our
breakfast a little bit faster than the usual. We rounded up and went to time-travel.
It was time to make the interviews. We arrived to a nice brick building, and got introduced to the
witnesses. This part was really cute. Finishing the basic introduction, some of us had to go away to
visit the witness at home. My team actually got lost a little. Maybe it was because the winter
wonderland which mesmerized us on our way thanks to the snowy forest.



Nevertheless we arrived. Mr. Sitkowski was waiting for us. None of us would have guessed how
dangerous and adventurous years he had in his life if they did’t tell us before. He was really calm and
clear. Also he seemed strong even above 90.


Of course we introduced ourselves, and he started talking. The clock stopped we weren’t able to feel
the time anymore. It was only him who didn’t lost his sense of time.
He was telling his story for a little bit more than a hour. Then he told us he had enough. It was time
for us to leave with our new experiences of an old story. But before leaving he told us to check the
memorial of his village, and give him autograms so he can show his relatives we were here.



For me it was both funny and yet honorable. Since it should have been us asking for that kind of
thing. Then we went to the memorial. The snow covered everything. In the blank whiteness the
white crosses looked like natural creations. We stopped for a moment, and then we went back to the
others. They were having a lunch together with the witnesses. We joined. One hour after we were on
our way back. We preparred to start the work and even that it was adviced to just make some small
steps since everyone was tired. Some of us got so motivated they did a half day work on the rest of
the night.
