Given name: Sabina Family name: Wylot

She lived in Lodz at Srodmiejska Street with her mother Bela née Dawidowiczi, father Szaja Kleinlerer and sister Felicja. In the Autumn 1939 or at the beginning of 1940 she was forced to leave the flat with her family and moved to Warsaw to Twarda Street No. 22 or 20 and later to Twarda Street No 5 where her father starved to death. In the last period of her stay in the ghetto she was moved to Krochmalna Street to common collective rooms. Starvation and poverty forced her to cross to the 'Aryan side' in search for food. With collected and begged money she got to the 'Aryan side' under the ghetto wall to get some food (flour, groats, onions or potatoes). During one of the attempts of crossing she was caught with some other boys in the region of Zelazna Street. She was the only one survivor thanks to the help of a 'Blue' policeman who made other military policemen that she was not Jewish. The boys were probably shot, because the passages to the ghetto were guarded she could not return to the ghetto. Without any care she hid in recess in the whole city. After she get to Mokotow she stayed with Danuta and Jerzy Downarowicz who were involved in underground activities and help to Jews. As a result of denunciation, she had to move to Bokus family in Sluzew. She stayed there also for a short time because of the next denunciation. Later she lived in Siewierska Street No 14 with Komorowski family. When she was recognised as a Jewess by one boy who also smuggled food into ghetto she changed her place of stay again. She lived with Komorowskie sisters - Maria nad Zofia in Koszykowa Street No 29 until the Warsaw Uprising. During the Uprising she was involved in helping the fighters - she carried cereal from Brewery through underground passages and tunnels. In 1944 she was deported from Warsaw. She was imprisoned in the camp in Pruszkow, Lambinowice, Leerte, Sprunge i Hamelun. Later she was deported to Eldagsen for slave labour. There under the maiden name of Danuta Downarowicz functioned as her sister. Until the end of war she worked hard in Germany. She returned to Poland in 1945 but she did not find anybody from her family.
