Jozefa Gigon-Roszkiewicz
Born on 10 March 1928 in Le Chambon-Feugerolles (Loire). Józefa's parents emigrated to France just after the First World War. Her father worked in the coal mines and died prematurely. Her mother then supported the family. Józefa was able to continue her studies and attended the high school in Villard-de-Lans between 1942 and 1946. She then went to the high school in Paris, where she obtained her baccalaureate. She subsequently enrolled at the Sorbonne and married her former Polish teacher, Stanisław Roszkiewicz. They left for Poland in 1949. In 1950, Stanisław was arrested and imprisoned. When he was released, he could not find work. Józefa became the sole provider for the family, working as an accountant.
