Bełżeccy Family Archive

Part 1

A trip to Międzyzdroje in 1974, where Marzena went with her parents, Zbigniew and Jadwiga, and their friends. Typical genre scenes for a stay by the sea: beach rest, bathing, city walks and beach volleyball matches in which Marzena participated.

Part 2

Genre scenes from a typical weekend trip near Cracow, this time to Ojców. Marzena with her parents: Zbigniew and Jadwiga Bełżecki, friends and their boxer dog. Autumn landscape, a picnic on the grass. Marzena draws sketches, dances and tries to piggyback her father. A walk in the mountains, rope climbers around, swimming in the river. Marzena swims a crawl and a breakstroke. Water is her element. 

Part 3

Genre scenes from a trip to the countryside during the potato harvest. A bonfire and potato roasting. As Marzena Kawalerowicz recalls, the potatoes were paid for in absentia – the farmer who grew them was not there, so the Bełżecki family dug up potatoes and left the money.
