Did Edna Schroder Thiessen survive in World War 2?

Answer 1

This is from the book by Marlene Epp called:

Women Without Men: Mennonite Refugees of the Second World War.

Edna Schroeder Thiessen, a Mennonite who had grown up in Poland and remained there at the war's end, was imprisoned by Polish soldiers in 1945. In prison, she was tortured and interrogated by her captors. Later, when she was assigned to work at an estate formerly owned by a wealthy landowner, Edna went without food for over a week on several occasions.

So Yes, she did survive World War Two, she even went on to publish her own book called:

Life Displaced: A Mennonite Woman's Flight from War-Torn Poland.
