Any other siblings?
No.
This half-brother, which half was he from?
My father, and his mother died in childbirth.
Okay. So for your father, this was his second
marriage?
Yes.
Okay. Okay, Ms. Landowska, you were mentioning
that your family name has been Landowski and
changed to Landowska?
Yes.
Can you go over that again, please?
Well, I don't--I've always used Landowska. My
father used Landowska, even though it was the
female form. I don't understand what happened
along the lines, but I know that to some it's
Landowski, and to some it's Landowska. But it is
a female form, generally. In Poland, just the
females call themselves that.
Okay. You mentioned that you grew up in bothHeidelberg and Berlin, Germany. Could you
describe those early years in the 1930s growing
up? What was life like?7
