Cywia Lubetkin
              (1914-1978)

              and her husband ‘Icchak’ Cukierman
              (1915-1981)

              ‘Antek and Celina. Celina and Antek. Cywie und Icchak.
              Icchak und Cywie. Such a contrast, and yet a unity. He was
              tall, handsome, blond, blue eyes, always smiling, sometimes
              pensive, calm, sensible. She was average height, black-
              haired with bright, intense eyes, determined, thoughtful
              - a female leader. Faithful to her principles, she had faith
              and full trust in people – those were her characteristics.
              (…) Antek was – and remained – the closest person to me.
              He was a man who knew what friendship is. And Celina
              was – and remained – my closest friend, till the end of her
              life. She understood me and she understood my demeanour
              [my actions]. (…) You cannot have closer and more devoted
              friends!’
