- Biography
- Marie Cuttler (born Marisia Watnicka) is the only child of Wladyslaw and Felicia (Grodzicka) Watnicka. She was born October 10, 1934 in Warsaw, where her father was a pharmacist. Soon after the outbreak of World War II Marisia was taken to Opoczno, where she lived for one year. From 1940 to 1945 she lived in hiding on a farm in Germany with a Catholic family, with whom she did not have a close relationship. Marisia was only eleven years old at the end of the war. Her father's brother, Mieczyslaw (Mietek) Watnicki, found her in Poland in April 1945. Though Jewish, Mieczyslaw was sent to Auschwitz as a Polish political prisoner. Both of Marisia's parents perished. After the war, Marisia lived in the Bamberg displaced persons camp and the Bad Aibling children's home. She left Germany for the U.S. in September 1949. On October 4, 1953 she married Sanford Cuttler.
