A guerra destruiu seu mundo, interrompeu seus sonhos e o forçou a lidar com novas realidades. Sua lealdade e amor pela velha Polônia que ele conhecia tão bem começou a lentamente desaparecer quando ele descobriu que seu nacionalismo era baseado em equívocos sobre seus "irmãos" poloneses. A ocupação nazista deu a seus vizinhos poloneses a oportunidade de ouro de se livrar dos "judeus imundos" e permitiu que eles roubassem seus bens. Muitos prontamente colaboraram com os nazistas durante a guerra e houve atém quem matasse muitos sobreviventes depois da guerra. Embora ele tenha renunciado seu país com tristeza, ele amava sua cultura e viveu como polonês em seu novo país até morrer aos noventa e três anos.How to be Nowhere
