Bronislawa
KOPANIAK,
Resistance
Fighter: 1919-2005
Polish beauty who fought the Nazis, helped former army officers
out of the country and escorted Jews to safety later fled Communist
rule to settle in Canada
By Carol COOPER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Monday, April
4, 2005, Page S8
On September 3, 1939, in a small town in Poland, a blue-eyed,
golden-haired, stylish and beautiful young woman turned 20. That
day, too, Britain and France declared war against Germany for
invading Poland two days earlier.
The fighting cut short her university studies in economics. Instead,
Bronislawa
KOPANIAK helped many others affected by the war, using
her intelligence, beauty and courage to work with the Polish
resistance.
Through her efforts, many people escaped death. In turn, during
the years when her own life was in danger, Mrs.
KOPANIAK frequently
relied on the kindness and courage of strangers.
"There were different values. People had to help each other,"
Mrs. KOPANIAK frequently told her daughter, Marguerite
KOPANIAK
of Toronto. "And you had to take risks."
By October of 1939, Poland's western region had been annexed
by Germany, the central area overseen by a German governor based
in Krakow, and the eastern part under Soviet control. Poland
had ceased to exist.
Born Bronislawa
KROL to parents who had been involved in earlier
efforts to liberate Poland when it had been divided among Russia,
Austria and Germany, she was the youngest of four children. Her
father, the owner of a copper mine who was considered a Polish
patriot, died when she was 12, and she lived with her mother
in their hometown of Czeladz in southwestern Poland.
There, in the months after the Nazi invasion, she and other young
people gathered in cafés to discuss how to help their country.
In January of 1940, she joined the resistance group Organizacja
Bialego Orla, or White Eagle, and entered a world where people
did not use their real names and came and went without revealing
much about themselves. For her part, she adopted the code name
Baska.
Mrs. KOPANIAK's first assignment was to determine the allegiance
of an official, Hieronim
PALICA, who had access to exit documents.
White Eagle urgently needed to get out of the country those Polish
army officers eager to carry on the fight from abroad.
Germany, as part of its plans for the Polish population, had
ranked people along racial lines and classified
PALICA as Volksdeutsch,
one of several Aryan subdivisions. But he had attended a Polish
university, so his true beliefs were unclear. To find out, Mrs.
KOPANIAK took German lessons from him and made many pro-German
remarks to assess his reaction.
PALICA became upset and told
her he'd like to strangle her for her sentiments. His allegiance
lay with the Poles. With trust established,
PALICA passed documents
to Mrs. KOPANIAK.
Through her, they reached the officers, many
of whom escaped.
At the same time, she also learned that
PALICA had access to
the list of people being rounded up, arrested and removed from
their homes by the Nazi occupiers. Working with a friend, she
was able to warn those on the list, supply them with food coupons
and arrange false documents for their escape.
But the Germans grew suspicious of her activities. One night
during the summer of 1941, she awoke to the sound of the Gestapo
pounding on the door of her mother's first-floor apartment. Mrs.
KOPANIAK escaped through a window, hid in some bushes and melted
into the countryside. She destroyed her papers and, for the next
few months, travelled from town to town. Often hungry and tired,
she was dependent on others for food, shelter and transportation.
Smuggled across a checkpoint in the engine of a train, she ended
up in Warsaw, where she was easily absorbed. Later, she learned
that her mother had been arrested, held for a few months, then
released.
To regain identity papers, Mrs.
KOPANIAK claimed to have come
from a town she knew had been destroyed. She took as her surname
that of a Polish hero, Lewandowicz, and, for a first name, Barbara.
She would use it for the rest of her life.
In Warsaw, she continued her resistance work and helped Jews
leave the Warsaw ghetto. Her trick, said her daughter, was to
walk into the ghetto and then boldly escort people out to the
safety of a distant forest, praying all the while they would
not be challenged.
Once, Mrs.
KOPANIAK took in a Jewish woman. With both of them
hungry, Mrs.
KOPANIAK took off her nylons, washed them and sold
them so they could eat. Years later in a Warsaw café the woman
recognized Mrs.
KOPANIAK, who remained remarkable for her beauty,
and invited her and her family for dinner.
More than once, Mrs.
KOPANIAK counted on her beauty to help her
pull off assignments. One involved mailing a certain package.
Mrs. KOPANIAK carried a basket of cherries to imply innocence
and enlisted another attractive young woman as cover. When the
package landed on the postal scale, it made a clunking sound,
startling her friend. Mrs.
KOPANIAK denied there had been a noise
when, in fact, there had been a clunk. The package contained
a submachine gun.
By the time the war ended, Mrs.
KOPANIAK had become seriously
ill with tuberculosis, and she spent a year in a sanatorium.
Later, she tried to return home to Czeladz. But, by then, Poland
was under Communist rule. Because of her wealthy background and
her refusal to join the Communist Party, bureaucrats made her
life difficult. All the same, ordinary people hailed her as a
hero. A streetcar driver once stopped his vehicle, put his hand
on his heart and saluted her.
A few years later, while working at an administrative job in
industry, she met her boss, a mathematician and economist who
had also been in the resistance. His name was Jozef
KOPANIAK,
and they fell in love. They married in 1950, and Mrs.
KOPANIAK
settled down to a peaceful life in the provinces. In the late
1950s, the couple moved to Warsaw, where Mr.
KOPANIAK headed
Poland's first computer-research institute. In 1968, things took
a turn for the worse after student riots erupted and the government
found itself short of soldiers. It tried to recruit the workers
into a new militia. Mr.
KOPANIAK called a meeting of the 700
employees at his institute and appealed to them not to join up.
To do so, he said, would mean fighting compatriots.
He resigned, only to be blacklisted. The family soon discovered
that their mail was being opened and their telephone bugged.
Around that time, Mr.
KOPANIAK was run down in the street by
a car.
Poland was no longer safe for the
KOPANIAKs; it was time to leave.
About 18 months later, Mrs.
KOPANIAK arrived in Canada with her
young daughter and with a husband who was still recuperating.
Until the end of her life, Mrs.
KOPANIAK kept both her looks
and sense of style. She looked back at the war with a sorrow
for lives lost and with a feeling that her country had been abandoned
by others, but without bitterness. "She was a beautiful woman
both inside and out," her daughter said.
Bronislawa
KOPANIAK was born in Czeladz, Poland, on September
3, 1919. She died in Toronto on January 6, 2005. She was 85.
Her husband predeceased her. She leaves her daughter, Marguerite,
and grand-daughter Jacqueline.

Beauty used brains to outwit Nazis
Barbara KOPANIAK lived a fearless life
Polish activist saved compatriots
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Like many eastern Europeans who came to Canada to rebuild lives
shattered by World War 2 and its aftermath, Barbara
KOPANIAK
lived a quiet life here, deliberately and gratefully.
She tended to the home for her husband Jozef, a brilliant Polish
scientist who found lesser work at Ontario Hydro and teaching
part-time at Ryerson, then a technical college, and she raised
and encouraged her only child, Marguerite, now a medical doctor
with a post-doctorate degree in immunology.
She died last month at 85.
Only her style -- her regal carriage, the way she always stood
for family snapshots at a slight three-quarter turn, one leg
slightly bent, model-like, the clothes bought at department stores
sales that seemed couturier on her, hinted that she was the granddaughter
of wealthy nobility, the daughter of a successful and idealistic
copper mine and property owner.
Her extraordinary eyes also gave her away -- they flashed and
spoke of adventure and courage. Last September her daughter threw
a party. She realizes now it was because she wanted her then
frail, failing mother -- her best friend and soulmate -- to be
well again.
"My mother was so young at heart, so vital, so classy," said
Dr. Marguerite
KOPANIAK.
She used to have to drag her Friends
away if her mother was telling stories.
At the party, she looked across the room. Barbara
KOPANIAK was
surrounded by five of the most handsome men there.
"They were fascinated. You could see they were really listening
to her. They were leaning in to her. They weren't shifting their
weight from one foot to the other, the way men do when they are
bored at parties."
No wonder. The stories, like the woman, were extraordinary.
In January 1940, Bronislawa
KROL was 20, a fair-haired beauty,
the youngest of four children and the only one still living at
home in the southern town of Czeladz, when she was approached
by a former Polish officer who asked if she was willing to fight
the German enemy.
Czeladz was in Silesia, an area adjacent to the Czech and German
borders, and was part of an underground escape route for Poles
to France via Hungary.
KROL's upper-class parents were Polish patriots who had funded
and worked on an underground Polish newspaper advocating liberation
from Russia. A wealthy property owner, her father, who died at
a young age, was also a volunteer firefighter who refused to
collect rent from tenants experiencing hard times. Steeped in
altruism and idealism,
KROL had been attending various clandestine
youth meetings, as all around her Germans were arresting many
of the town's leaders and taking them to Auschwitz.
False documents and passes were needed to whisk others out of
the country to safety before they, too, were taken away to certain
death. The man asked
KROL to befriend Hieronim
PALICA, who worked
for the German-run municipal authority and had access to the
Germans' lists of people about to be arrested.
KROL was supposed
to recruit him -- but first she had to ascertain where his sympathies
lay.
She finagled German lessons with the man, during which she said
disparaging things against Poles until one night, pale and shaking
with rage, he stood up and said to her: "I would like to strangle
snakes like you."
Thus began a relationship with
PALICA that resulted in hundreds
of Poles being saved from Auschwitz, many of whom were sheltered
in her parents' home until they could be spirited across the
border. As well,
KROL demanded from a school friend, the son
of the local baker, free loaves of bread. She'd pack them in
a suitcase and go to the prison. Young and beautiful, she would
look at the guards with her mesmerizing eyes, tell them she was
visiting her brother, or perhaps her fiancé, and when they let
her in, as they invariably did, head straight to the sick bay
where she passed out the bread.
It was 4: 30 a.m. on August 15, 1941, when the Gestapo banged
down her family's front door with the butts of their machine
guns. Asleep on the couch,
KROL leapt out the window of the ground-floor
apartment, catching her scarf on a lilac tree, and hid in some
raspberry bushes.
She watched the German officer eye her scarf, then deliberately
stand in front of the window to block the sight of it as he ordered
his men to search the rest of the large apartment. (Her mother
was arrested and released eight months later.)
KROL became a
fugitive, following the Brynica River out of town, hiding in
tunnels near the copper mines and in market-day crowds in neighbouring
towns.
She was smart and savvy -- having strangers buy her train tickets
because she feared the authorities had posted her photo, finding
an empty villa in a forest where she slept -- but she also depended
on the kindness and courage of strangers. An artist who housed
her for two nights wept when she left before she could paint
her portrait.
Without any documents,
KROL used her wits, guile and beauty to
stay alive and reach Warsaw, where she worked for the resistance.
She got identity papers in a false name by pretending to be from
a town the Germans had burned to the ground. "I have one witness,
I need just one more person to sign," she said to strangers on
the street.
When she was caught illegally crossing a border, she drew herself
up -- regally -- to her full height of 5-foot-4 and said: " Gentlemen,
look at me. I am a mess. Take me where I can wash up." They did
she escaped.
When she once unwittingly walked into a room where German officers
were waiting to entrap resistance workers, she smiled brilliantly
when asked for her identity papers, fumbling through her purse.
"I must have changed purses," she said. The officer didn't buy
it. She kept talking, flashing those eyes, offering him a cigarette
as she lit one for herself. When he accepted, she knew she might
be able to escape. "What am I supposed to do with you?" he asked
her. "Let me go," she said. "Okay, but run fast," he answered.
She rode in German, not Polish, train cars because she reasoned
there was less chance of being asked for her papers. But one
time, sitting by the window, smoking her habitual cigarette even
though she suffered from tuberculosis, she watched the reflection
of a German officer approaching her. "Is this your luggage?"
he asked. She was terrified but never lost her sang-froid. Exhaling
slowly, smoke curling from the corner of her mouth, movie-star
fashion, she didn't even deign to turn and look at him as she
replied with a haughty "Yes." He walked on to the next compartment.
Told to post a machine gun to a partisan in another town, she
asked a friend, another pretty young woman, to go to the post
office with her. They wore their best dresses,
KROL hired a horse-drawn
carriage, bought cherries. They were the picture of carefree
youth when they pulled up to the post office. When the bedazzled
clerk threw the parcel on the weigh scales, there was a metallic
clunk. "Oh, something went clunk," her friend said. "The scale
went clunk," said the quick-thinking
KROL.
Marguerite
KOPANIAK believes her mother saved hundreds of Jewish
lives with her resistance work, which ended August 1, 1944 with
the 63-day Warsaw Uprising. After the war, her mother returned
to Czeladz and ordinary life. But the people there hadn't forgotten
what she did. If she was in a store, townspeople would beg to
help carry her parcels. A tram driver once stopped, stood, placed
one hand across his heart and saluted her with the other.
After the town was taken over by Communists, she organized a
march to honour the old Poland -- and was consequently forced
into hiding. She was allowed to return only after the entire
town signed a petition and threatened a general strike. She married
Jozef KOPANIUK, a man as passionate and idealistic as she. In
1968, when students were protesting throughout Poland, he called
a meeting of the 700 employees in his factory, told them to support
the students' cause, and resigned. It was 1970 before the Communists
allowed them to leave the country, another year before they came
to Canada.
People were always asking Barbara
KOPANIAK to write a book, to
tell the world her stories. It's the stuff of movies, they'd
tell her. More to the point, so was she, as beautiful and dashing
as a Hayward or a Bacall. She refused them all, because, as she
always said about her experiences: "It had to be done. How could
you not?"
