THE TI N DRUM

l.1l.l. begin l.ong before l. eVer existed.

Wben tbe time came for mypoor mama to be born,

mygrandmotber, Anna Bronski,

wbo was stil.l.young and unsuspecting,

sat in ber ur skirts at tbe edge ofa potato ftel.d.

Tbat was in 1899,

in tbe beart ofKasbubia.

Sometbing was moving on tbe borizon,

as if]umping about.

PIease.

AnybGdy cGme tbis way?

Name Gf KGIjaiczek?

- A fifebug . - SbGrt witb bfGad sbGuldefs.

Has tG be Gne Gf tbe Gtbef. Tbefe's nGwbefe else.

And it's faining , besides.

AII figbt, KGIjaiczek.

My name is JGsepb.

Mygrandfatber was an arsonist.

A repeat arsonist,

because in al.l. of West Prussia,

sawmil.l.s were tbe tinder for tbe bl.azing national.ism oftbe Pol.es.

Josepb andAnna bid witb tbe raftsmen

for al.most a year.

Tbat1s bow l.ong it took tbe pol.ice to catcb up

witb mygrandfatber.

Run !

- DGn't sbGGt bim ! - Eife at will !

After tbat dive,

Kofjaiczek was never seen again.

Some say be drowned.

Otbers say

wbere, in Cbicago,

under tbe name ofJoe Col.cbic,

be became a mil.l.ionaire.

Tbey say be made bis fortune in l.umber,

in matcbes,

and in ftre insurance.

As for mygrandmotber,

sbe satyear afteryear in ber four skirts,

bawking ber wares in tbe market.

Geese!

NGt tGG fat and nGt tGG Iean !

And sbe grew ol.der.

Tbe Pirst Worl.d War came,

and instead ofgeese, sbe bad onl.y turnips to sel.l..

Tufnips!

Mypoor mama grew ol.der too.

Sbe was worried about ber cousin Jan.

Jan bad been cal.l.ed to war,

but be wanted to be near ber.

- Name? - BfGnski, Jan.

- Yeaf? - 1 898.

CGugb.

"NG ass, nG neck, tG tbe afmy I'm a wfeck!"

Por tbe ftrst time, my motber

bel.d ber cousin Jan in ber arms,

and l. doubt

iftbey ever embraced more bappil.y.

Tbis young wartime romance was untroubl.ed

until. tbe appearance ofa certain Mr. Matzeratb.

Al.fred Matzeratb, born in tbe Rbinel.and,
