Horses are weaker.
Barbara Makuch Barbara Szymanska first saw Poland when she was 8 months old. It was then that her parents, Janina and Franciszek, returned to their native land after several years in Russia, where they had gone to avoid Franciszek's conscription into the German Army. Within a few years of their return Barbara, or Basha, as her family called her, had two new sisters, Halina and Hanka. Growing up in the north of Poland, Barbara briefly attended a well-known progressive school, but eventually graduated from an agricultural school in Wilno. Then early in September 1939, just as she was making her application to a Warsaw university, Hitler's army invaded Poland, and all Polish education ceased.
