Following settlement of the Drobot families in the US, and the Rutkowski family in Australia, interrelation between the members of the
Djament clan were limited to occasional exchanges between the three surviving brothers. It is well known that the twins Jan and Stefan
had a major disagreement sometime in the 1950's however the reason for this has never been revealed. It was however clear that they
were both very secretive, difficult to live with and that they would rarely listen to any advice or suggestions offered by other members of the
family. Perhaps their experiences during the war had taught them never to trust anyone, even their closest relatives.
An unfortunate consequence of the feud between the twins was that their children were not allowed to communicate with each other. For
reasons that are still not clear, this extended to Julek's children as well, and it wasn't until the early 1990's that regular communications
were established between the Rutkowski and the Drobot descendants. There is no doubt that the advent of the Internet had a significant
impact.
Julek seemed to be the only one prepared to divulge any of the closely guarded 'secrets' or discuss any aspects relating to the Djament
family history. In 1989 Eve decided that she would start to discover her roots and wrote to Julek asking him for details about her family. A
regular exchange of letters between Julek and the Drobot descendants was established and gradually the communication channels
were opened.
This web page presents some of the letters, in chronological order, written during this time.
