Biography

Józef Rzyman was married to Anna Rzymanova (nee Przeczekova) and lived in Łazy. They had two children, Wanda Rzymanova and Tadeusz Rzyman. Józef was on the town council and also headmaster of the local Polish school. This would have been the reason for his arrest.

His son Tadeusz Rzyman went to Australia after the war, settled in Queenscliff, Victoria, and married Rita Giuleri. They had one child, Susan Rzyman (born 18 November 1956).
After we had visited Mauthausen in 1979, Tadeusz opened up about his wartime experiences, and told us things that he had never mentioned to anyone. He knew his father had died there and he told us that he was taken away a few weeks after the war started. Tadeusz also told us that they were informed of his father’s death (an apparent heart attack), the date given was the false one.
Tadeusz died in Geelong, Victoria, on 14 November 2015.

Neil Walker MacAuslan, husband of his granddaughter Susan Elizabeth Rzyman
