Readers' Stories

As with other parts of our website, we anticipate that the Readers' Stories section will grow with time. It is an opportunity to expand the website beyond Tweedsmuir Camp in Surrey, England to include the larger international community.

Please note that all the stories are presented as PDF files hence you will require Adobe PDF Reader software to access the files. You may download the appropriate software by using the Adobe link in the right hand column.

We are grateful to all our readers who have made the effort to e-mail us their accounts. Thank you.

A Story from ...

Ed Burczy (Sent in 10 May 2010)
Ed was 3 in 1940. Today, at the age of 73, he has taken the time to convey his account of the night he and his family were forced to leave their homestead in eastern Poland. It is a refreshing story told by man who has obviously retained his warm childhood memories.

  • Tomasz Cywacki (Sent in 27 May 2010)
    In his story, Tomasz, who prefers to be called 'Tom', recalls his father's experiences during the Second World War. Tom's feelings towards his father are laid bare in this affectionate, what Tom calls, 'epitaph'.
