I am a Dutch artist based in Amsterdam where as a young man I met Eta Wrobel’s daughter Anuschka. Over the years we stayed in touch with one another. Only recently I found out on the internet that Eta Wrobel had written her memoires, and I managed to buy a used copy via internet. By a curiois coincidence , there is a note on the title page of ‘My Life My Way’ hand written by Shain Fishman dated 2006. Shain is Anuschka’s elder sister. Yes, what coincidence! But now I distract from the content of Eta’s  life story, her happy childhood in Lukow, Poland, followed by the horror of the Holocaust. It is now in the middle of the night when I am rereading her story and writing this note which I doubt anyone will ever read. It does perhaps not matter, more important that what happened to Eta’s family will not be forgotten. Good night. Frans Horbach
