They Took The Kids Away
The kids were sent to a Red Cross center in Poland. Maybe it was a matter of negligence, or maybe the nuns just thought they would be better off there, far from the aftermath of the war. But they were also far from their mother.
The Red Cross center was full of lost children; so they arranged an adoption agreement for George and Lucian, as they did with many other lost kids. But there was a downside to it.
