Mój stryj
My uncle

Summary/Abstract: The author talks about her paternal uncle, Tymon Terlecki, adding some reminiscences about her father, Kazimierz Baran. Referring to the family history she explains why Tymon (Tadeusz) Terlecki used so many surnames, as he first bore his mother’s name (Baran), then took on the name of his stepfather (Węgiel) and finally had it changed judicially to his own father’s. Terlecki’s niece describes her memories of him from her early childhood and later years and complements them with references to the family’s correspondence. The article is supplemented with a moving letter that her mother wrote to Tymon Terlecki in 1942 from Siberia.
