Ewa

Ewa was the daughter of Warsaw druggist Witold. She was anti-Soviet, like her father. One day in September, 1952, Vasili Yasevich, a White Russian who'd joined up with a group of Polish rebels led by Major Casimir, presented himself in the store. He and Casimir had entered Warsaw to pick up supplies from Witold, but Casimir had been recognized and killed. Yasevich shared his bizarre life story with Ewa, who decided no MGB man would create such a stupid, unlikely story, and so gave him shelter.
