Familie Witoński / Grumelin
Paris, Frankreich

For years, Rose Grumelin (Rucza Witońska), the mother of Roman and Eleonora, searched for her two children. In 1982, she met Günther Schwarberg and Barbara Husing in Paris, who showed her photos of the children. After a heart-wrenching moment, she recognized both her son and, eventually, her daughter. That same year, she traveled to Hamburg:

"I struggled with myself to come here, but here I can see that although they were long forgotten, they are no longer." - Rose Grumelin (Rucza Witońska), mother of Eleonora and Roman

Rose Grumelin passed away in Paris in 2012 at the age of 99. Her son, Marc-Alain, who was born after the war, has attended the memorial service in Hamburg for many years.
