SQUIRREL
[A statement from a descendant of individuals buried in the pre-war Jewish cemetery, which was incorporated into the KL Plaszow area, regarding an encounter with a squirrel, anchored near a section of Heltmana Street.]
Descendant:
“I must say that I had quite an extraordinary experience there two years ago when I had my little son, who was very small—he's not so little now, but back then, he was tiny, only two months old. I went for a walk in Płaszów, which was a medicinal plant walk, if I may say so—‘Healing Plants of Płaszów’. I went on this walk, and there came a moment when my son got hungry; he was so small, only two months old, and it was a heatwave, it was August. I had to stop to feed him. So, I sat under a Płaszów shrub, and the tour group continued, while my son and I stayed there, and he drank his milk. I had such a deeply moving experience there. First of all, it was an experience very close to nature, because we were in a very intimate situation—breastfeeding is quite intimate—and I was enjoying that. At one point, a tiny squirrel came up to us and sat right next to us. It was such an incredibly touching experience, and it stayed with me for a long time, somehow working through me. And I had this sense that the nature there now is so wonderfully alive in contrast to the history.”
