Impressive! When I heard the story for the first time from Andrzej z Banino regarding Sat Okh. In an essence what stroke about him that he managed to escape from a transport /cattle wagon/ to concentration camp during World War 2 - WW2
True survivor!
To begin with, his mother Stanislawa was rescued by a Canadian native tribe as she was left abounded by a group of runaways from tzar's russia. Then she became a wife of atribal chief and gaved birth to 3 children. One of them was Sat-Okh. In 1937, Sat Okh as a teenage son returns with mum to Poland. Break up of WW2 met them in Radom, where he is tortured by Gestapo then sent to Auschwitz. He managed to escape from a transport. Badly injured sought a shelter in the forest. As part of partizante movement bravely fought Nazi occupant. By his fellow brothers of arm called "kozak". After the war joined Polish Merchant Navy which allowed him to travel abroad. Once, in the Canadian city was even an object of brutal attack. This might be linked with murder of his sister. Meanwhile wrote books with collection of Indian stories. Shortly before his departure set an Indian museum in hamlet Wymyslowo, close to the town Tuchola
