Featured Obituary:

When Nazi Germany invaded Warsaw on September 1, 1939, Diane Inglot was a 12-year-old walking home from her convent school. German warplanes filled the skies. It was the end of her innocence and the beginning of World War II. Her entire family was career Army, and after the Polish government capitulated, they all joined the Polish Underground Home Army, AK. They fought the German occupiers until the very end -which culminated in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Thousands of young people, students, and children joined the outgunned Home Army in fighting house-to-house street battles and committing acts of sabotage. It was a true David vs. Goliath battle. Diane was one of those youthful participants. Her ordeal began with trying to derail German trains with others her age, 17. She served as a courier, carrying secret messages from one sector to the next. The penalty for acting as an AK courier was death if caught by the Nazis.

When the uprising started in earnest, the battle raged for 63 days. The Russians sat across the river rather than help, knowing they would eventually take what was left of Warsaw for themselves. More than 15,000 Home Army soldiers and over 200,000 civilians lost their lives.

By the time the uprising was over, 650,000 of Warsaw’s remaining citizens were forced to leave the city in a mass exodus. Hitler ordered the city burnt to the ground. Diane was put on a cattle car and taken to a forced-labor concentration camp in Germany. She was eventually liberated by Allied paratroopers.

She married her husband, Janusz J. Platowski, in 1947 while working as a volunteer nurse in Germany. Together, they had a son, Andrew (Esther Garces) Platowski.

After a few years of waiting in a displaced person camp, they found a sponsor in America who would vouch for them. They emigrated to Chicago via Boston in 1950. She learned to speak English by watching I Love Lucy on the television. She trained to become a surgical nurse and worked for many years at Central Community Hospital on the South Side of Chicago, a job she truly loved and was always proud of.

At only 46 years old, Diane lost her husband, John, to cancer. She married Peter B. Inglot in 1974 who had two children of his own, Christopher (Vanessa) Inglot and Ewa. Diane loved them as her own and took on the role of their mother. After Peter died in 1998, Diane lived independently for the remainder of her life. She enjoyed her daily swims, spending time with her five beautiful granddaughters (Amber, Stephanie, Monica (Drew Balis), Nicole, & Kristen (Zach Mork), and her great-granddaughter, Emmy Wilkins.

She was honored many times by the Polish Government for her wartime service and her philanthropic efforts for wounded and disabled Polish veterans in Chicago and especially Poland.

Diane was fiercely independent and valued her family more than anything. She kept in close contact with her family in Poland and her many friends.
