English: Graves at Rakowicki Cemetery, Kraków.
Anna Grodyńska, née Rutowska 8 October 1891, widow of Major Jan Kanty Grodyński brother of Jerzy, was arrested on 30 October 1941 at her apartment in Kraków at 1 Batory street, where apparently a gun and papers linking her to the ‘Polish Resistance’ were found (she was associated with ZWZ (pl) and PPS-WRN (pl) ‘Freedom Equality Independence’), along with her younger sister Zofia Żyborską and daughter Magdalena. After imprisonment in the detention centre on Montelupich street Anna and her sister were transported to Auschwitz (Oświęcim, #6816) on 27 April 1942 and on 30 August Anna was executed (probably at the notorious wall between Blocks 10 & 11 following months of “brutal interrogation”). Zofia died in Auschwitz one year later on 23 August 1943 but Magdalena, born 25 May 1926 and who bravely endured interrogation at Gestapo Headquarters in Kraków at 2 Pomorska street, survived the war and pursued a successful career as a dramatic actress in the theatre before being laid to rest on 19 October 1984.
