Weronica once wrote a letter to her sister which had devastating consequences. In the letter Weronica described how the Nazis had looted her home village outside Krakow.

The letter never arrived. Instead it was seized by the Nazis. Weronica was interrogated and sentenced as a political prisoner and taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp.

For five long years she was moved around between several different work camps. In one arms factory she consistently tried to sabotage the mechanism of the bombs being made there.

Weronica believed that one day the war must end.
She caught tuberculosis but decided that she would survive.

Rescue finally came. A camp guard said that all the prisoners were to travel to another country. No one believed it could be true but outside the gates of the concentration camp stood the White Buses.

When the buses came to Sweden Weronica felt an inconceivable joy. It was like Heaven. She was free and could keep on living. After Weronica retired she began visiting schools to tell the pupils about her life.
