Henryk Grynberg during the German occupation, due to his Jewish origin, in 1942-1944 he hid in Radoszyn and its vicinity and on so-called Aryan papers in Warsaw. Of his entire large family, only he and his mother survived the Holocaust, thanks to the help of Poles. Grynberg's father was killed by a Polish peasant, to whom he gave two cows for safekeeping. His two-year-old brother, given away by Polish neighbors, was killed by the Germans. Henryk Grynberg, writing more than 20 books, made it his goal to be a chronicler of the fate of Polish Jews.
