The Turek Story
This is not a typical story because the photos are supplied by Lynda Elder, nee Turek, and her sister Vanessa Cordingley who are too young to remember details of life in the camp, so have not supplied any text. I do recognise a few of the people in some of the photos. I would therefore request that any of the Polish Camp Kids who are older and have supplied their own stories could study the photos and tell me if they can recognose any people and give explanations to the photos.
The photo above shows Mr Ignacy Turek centre front with the hat and regulation cigarette in hand. This looks like some kind of working party or group job seekers. If any of you recognise any of the men in this photo please send me an email or contact me through the contacts us page. Lets help the girls fill in the gaps. Mr Turek's son Bolesław is the father of Lynda, Vanessa, Peter and Anthony. Bolesław is the brother of Pani Helena who is the mother of Lydia Stafanska and Krystyna Saunders. Bogdan Teszner from the USA has sent a message which is on the News page, identifying his father Adam Teszner as the tall man behind Ignacy Turek in the back row.
