August 1944: Bożena Grabowska "Magda" and Antoni Tueja "Niedźwiedź" in the courtyard of a tenement building on Moniuszki 11.  Photo by Eugeniusz Lokajski "Brok"

This is another postcard from the Warsaw Uprising Museum.  In it the two people are smiling and looking at the camera.  

The women in the photo was Bożena Grabowska (June 21, 1925 - March 21, 2013).  She would have been 19 at the time of this photo was taken.  During the Uprising she acted as a liaison.  She escaped the Warsaw to the nearby town of Milanówek and then the village of  Komorowa before getting to Krakow.  After the war she married and would eventually provide an oral history for the Warsaw Uprising.  A copy of the interview can be read (in Polish, though it can be translated by Google Translator) here. 

Possibly my favorite image of her is this one below where she is casually checking how she looks in a car side mirror during the Uprising.

The man in the photo was Cadet Corporal Antoni Tuleja, code name "Niedźwiedź" or "Bear."  His Warsaw Uprising Museum Biography page does not include his date of birth or death but does seem to say that he was friends with Bozena Grabowska's brother.

The photographer, Eugeniusz Lokajski, was formerly a gymnast and javelin thrower and competed in the  1936 Olympics in Berlin.  This photo was taken sometime before September 25, 1944 when Lokajski was killed by an artillery explosion while trying to obtain photograph equipment in a building that housed a camera store before the Uprising.
