Jozef Garlinski & Eileen Short

"I shan't make any attempt to get away, I shall stay in Warsaw. I will wait for you"

On the 1st of September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 25-year-old Christian Pole Jozef Garlinski had just fallen in love with Eileen Short, an Irish nurse on an exchange visit from Liverpool. His colonel gave him an hour's leave to get married before the regiment left for the front. Eileen's parting words to Jozef were her commitment to wait.

Jozef joined the Polish underground resistance. He was arrested in April 1943 + arrived at Auschwitz in May. Eileen remained in Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 she helped care for wounded. The German SS captured + shot anyone who looked like a soldier or who was wearing an armband. Eileen survived only because her red cross armband had falllen off + was stuffed in her pocket. The survivors were taken to a camp for civilians near the city. She escaped from the camp + spent the next few months with relatives of Jozef..

Jozef + Eileen had decided before the war that if they were separated + the Soviets took over Poland they would head for the West + contact each other through Eileen's mother in Ireland. Their plan was successful, both reaching London where they settled + raised their son.

💔Couples💔

Born Cécile Vidil in 1891, Lucy Krohg was an independent teen who entered the circle of artists gathered around Montparnasse and Montmartre becoming a model and muse for many of them. In 1909, she met Bulgarian artist Jules Pascin and began a brief, intimate affair. By 1911 Lucy had shifted her attentions to Norwegian artist and dancer Per Krohg and the two were married in 1915.
Pascin left Paris in 1914 with his fiancée Hermine David, and they married in 1918. He returned in 1920 and continued to seek the company of the now married Lucy Krohg. In 1921, Per Krohg left briefly for Norway, and Pascin and Hermine David's relationship ended in separation. Lucy was committed to her marriage, but cared for Pascin, who had become dependent on alcohol and and was threatening suicide. Lucy led a double life, maintaining her marriage and looking after Pascin. This arrangement lasted for three years until Krohg removed himself from the situation taking their son with him.
In 1930, when his own solo exhibition was to be opened, Pascin committed suicide in his studio. First, he cut his wrists and wrote Adieu Lucy on the wall with blood and then hanged himself. His body was discovered by Lucy. In his will Pascin shared his estate between his wife, Hermine David, and Lucy.
