Krystyna SZNUK- SPARKS, Resistance Fighter (1922-2005)
A member of the Polish Home Army during the Warsaw uprising of 1944, she cared for the wounded and survived by her wits until sent to Ravensbruck and Buchenwald
By Buzz BOURDON, Special to the Globe and Mail, Tuesday, August 30, 2005, Page S11
Ottawa -- A loud pounding at the door meant only one thing for people living in occupied Poland during the Second World War: The Germans had come for you.
Krystyna SZNUK watched in horror as the door opened. The Warsaw uprising had erupted two weeks earlier, on August 1, 1944, and as a member of the Polish Home Army, she was on the run.
"Two Vlasov men walked in. They looked us over. No, they were not interested in males, they wanted a female. Jazdia was holding her child in her arms, so I was the obvious choice," she wrote 50 years later in an unpublished memoir. The soldiers, members of General Andrei Vlasov's so-called Russian Liberation Army, Soviet soldiers who had switched sides to fight with the Germans, ordered her to come with them. She knew they wanted her for sex. Just 22 at the time, she refused.
"They both had hand grenades and indicated that if I didn't go, they would throw [them] at us. They promptly began to remove the pins. There was no choice so I went, my mind racing with plans of escape," she said.
Fortunately, the soldiers started to argue about "who would go first." She bolted up a flight of stairs, knocked desperately on a door and was admitted to an apartment where someone whisked her across to a window. "[I went] through the open window where a helping hand was outstretched to me. A minute or so later we heard a pounding at the door and noises of a search."
After that, she took to disguising her looks by smearing coal ash on her face and hair. Later, she came upon more of Vlasov's men in an abandoned factory. "[They] were checking for jewellery. One of them noticed a diamond and blue-enamel ring on my finger, which I had inherited from my grandmother. He almost tore my finger off trying to get [it] so I took it off and gave it to him. Being dirty and smeared with ashes seemed to repulse them and I was left alone," she said.
During the uprising, during which almost 50,000 members of the Polish Home Army attacked the German garrison, she helped care for the wounded. When the Poles surrendered two months later, about 18,000 Polish fighters had been killed, along with 150,000 civilians.
The Nazis destroyed 90 per cent of the colourful and cosmopolitan capital she had known as a child. Her family was upper-middle class, with connections throughout Polish society. "[They] lived in very comfortable circumstances," said daughter Mariea SPARKS. "They lived in a large, comfortable apartment filled with art and employed a cook and a maid."
Major-General Stefan SZNUK was a pioneer Polish aviator who fought in the First World War for Imperial Russia and later, after the Russian revolution, with the counterrevolutionary White Russians. For his daughter Krystyna, who studied at the exclusive Plater-Zyberk School, life as a teenager during the 1930s centred on school and family.
Dr. Danuta PODKOMORSKA, now living in retirement in Winnipeg, first met her when they were both eight years old. "We went to prep school and then to high school together, where we sat at the same desk. My mother died when I was very young so her mother mothered me as well."
It was "carefree and naive," said Dr. PODKOMORSKA. "We were sheltered from the world through school and family." In May of 1939, young Krystyna graduated from high school. "I was bursting with life and joy. The world was open to me, first the holidays, then entrance exams to university, and maybe an occasional meeting with my boyfriend. Those were my plans."
It all came to an end on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Over the next six years, she and her mother, Stanislawa, survived a brutal and oppressive occupation in a "grey and sad" Warsaw. Food was short and fear was endemic. One day, two Gestapo agents barged into their apartment and interrogated her on the whereabouts of her father, who had escaped to Britain, where he became an aide to General Wladyslaw SIKORSKI, head of the Polish government-in-exile.
"Of course we did not know, and what little we suspected we would not divulge." Her mother was arrested the following day. Weeks later, her uncle was shot.
Desperate to get her mother out of jail, she borrowed money, which she gave to a lawyer to bribe the Gestapo. It worked, and her mother arrived home a few days later.
"I opened the door and my heart sank with pity, a feeling stronger than the joy of seeing mother free. I could not believe it was the same person. She was so thin, poor soul, and her hair had gone completely white. Four months of prison took its toll, but she was free, free, free and we were together."
She herself was not free for long. For the last eight months of the war, she was a slave labourer at the infamous Ravensbruck and Buchenwald death camps. Risking their lives, she and her Friends "deliberately sabotaged the shells they produced," said daughter Nina SPARKS. " She knew that if the Germans caught them, they'd be killed."
After the war, Krystyna SZNUK decided to emigrate to Canada, where her parents had already settled. They were reunited in Ottawa and in 1948 she married Roderick SPARKS, scion of a prominent local family.
Krystyna SZNUK- SPARKS was born on January 2, 1922, in Warsaw. She died of an aneurism on June 11 in Ottawa. She was 83. She leaves her daughters Nina, Mariea and Anna, and son Robert. She was predeceased by her husband, Roderick SPARKS.

PETERSEN, Niels▼ Forrester▼ (1912-2005)
On November 25th, at his home in Toronto, Niels taught us how to die with as much panache as he had taught us how to live. He passed away peacefully at 10.30 p.m., surrounded by family and Friends, amid, laughter and tears, stories and songs. Niels was predeceased by his beloved wife Betty, his parents Niels and Amelia, and his sisters Irene and Thora. He will be deeply missed by his son Charles, daughter-in-law Riki TUROFSKY, daughter Jane and much loved grandchildren Corbett, Niels and James (Lara) PETERSEN, and Miranda, Jennifer and Katie BURFIELD. He will be greatly missed by his niece Victoria (Ken SPARKS,) and by many Friends▼ including Else KILDEGAARD, and Niels Kildegaard PEDERSEN of Denmark, Doris LAFRENIER, Gordon▼ FOOTE, David and Cathy WILKES, Saturday▼ morning coffee klatch Friends Marie and Jim McGORMAN, Tessa BUCHAN, Julie▼ and Mike PARKER and their wonderful daughter Katelyn,▼ by Garry HANRAHAN, Oksana▼ CHUYKO and also by long-time business associates and Friends Ted TREMAIN and Jim McMYN, and by Brenda WHITE/WHYTE who cared for him and made him laugh to his last hours. Niels was born July 3, 1912 in Ansdell, Lancashire. He was educated in Lytham Saint Annes and in Copenhagen, Denmark, before emigrating to Canada in 1929. Niels began a more than 70-year association with the Young Men's Christian Association of Canada when he joined West End Young Men's Christian Association, becoming Chairman of the National Board of Canada, and Chair of the International Finance Committee in Geneva, Switzerland. He was awarded the Fellowship of Honour by the Young Men's Christian Association in 1982. Niels met his beloved wife, Betty BAUCKHAM, at Young Men's Christian Association Geneva Park in 1938, and managed to engage her interest by disabling her boyfriend with a rigourous course of gymnastics. They were married in Toronto in 1942, shortly before Niels joined the Queens Own Rifles. Flat feet kept Niels from serving overseas. During his service career he trained new recruits in physical fitness, including one grateful Officer who told him 50 years later that his training kept him alive on the beaches of Normandy. While in the army, Niels completed a three-year business correspondence course from Queens University in one year, leading to a 60-year career in business. Niels was President and Chairman of the Board of Sterling Trust, and Chairman of Wellington Trust. He guided Investors Finance Corporation Limited and Commercial Financial for many decades. Niels' passion for boating, begun at 50 when his son, Charles, taught him how to sail, led to hours of peace and challenge in his much loved Nonsuch sailboats both in Florida and Ontario. He enjoyed photography, travel, classical music, and walking. A more recent hobby was following sailing races and reading newspapers from around the world on his computer. He particularly enjoyed listening to Rev. Dr. Andrew STIRLING, broadcast on the internet from Timothy Eaton Church, on the Sundays he was not able to get to service. Saturday morning coffee with Friends at the St. Lawrence Market demonstrated his lifelong gift, an ability to talk with anyone, about anything, at anytime, with laughter and zest. The family wishes to thank Dr. Vincent CHIEN and the A Team at St. Michael's Hospital, for their remarkable care during his final month, and Dr. David GREENBERG for his special kindness. Friends may call at the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. West, at Windermere, East of the Jane Subway, on Tuesday, November 29, from 2-4 pm and 7-9 p.m. A service in celebration of his life will take place at Timothy Eaton Church on Wednesday, November 30 at 3.00 p.m. Donations may be made in his memory to a favorite charity. It is not often that a man can live for most of a century, can experience life before telephones, cars or airplanes were common, and can enjoy the fun of WiFi on an IMac, lucid to the end. He will be lovingly remembered and sorely missed.

SPARLING, Gordon, 1994 -- Died This Day
Saturday, February 19, 2005 - Page S9
Filmmaker born in Toronto on August 13, 1900. A graduate of the University of Toronto, he developed an early interest in the cinema and in 1924 joined the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau where he learned his craft. In 1929, he moved to New York to work for the federal Motion Picture Bureau but was soon lured home by Associated Screen News of Montreal in a deal that allowed him to make a number of short-length movies. From 1932 to 1955 he wrote, produced and directed about 200 films, including the popular Canadian Cameo series (his personal favourite was Rhapsody in Two Languages, a day in the life of Montreal). During the Second World War, he took time out to make newsreel footage and training films for the Canadian Army. When Associated Screen News closed in 1957, he moved to the National Film Board. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Concordia University and was the subject of a special tribute at the 1989 Montreal Film Festival.
