Ona and Antanas Babonas came from a family of 6 daughters and 3 sons, all the Babonas' children were scattered around the world except for Ona and Antanas - a brother and a sister lived side by side their whole lives.

Ona married Antanas Korsakas, and in 1927 the family had a son Algirdas. The family had only one child, as Ona was suspected of having a "lump". When his wife fell ill, Antanas sold one of the two cows he had, and with the money he received, he put Ona in a wagon and took her to Kaunas, where she underwent surgery. She was a seamstress, Antanas a carpenter, the family had 10 hectares and was doing well. After the war, the Korsakas moved to Kaunas after losing their land, Antanas worked as a carpenter all his life and supported the family.

Antanas Babonas was married and had no children. When the war broke out, Antanas's wife left for Russia to stay with relatives. Antanas remained in Lithuania. Later, together with his sister Oona's family, he moved to Kaunas, where he married for the second time and did not have any children.

Virginija, the granddaughter of Ona and Antanas, says that she remembers her uncle Antanas's impressive moustache and that her grandparents told her that Jews were rounded up in the very barn that was located on the territory of A. Babonas, and that Babonas helped cousins, Sara and Roza, to escape from the barn by peeling off the planks of wood. The girls hid with Babonas for a while, the Korsakas contributed food, and then the Jews had to change hiding places. Sara was sheltered by the family of Ona and Antanas Korsakas. The girl was about the age of their son Algirdas, so they made her the same clothes, so that if the people saw her from afar, they would think they saw Algirdas. Sara's hiding place was under the fireplace.

A neighbour of the Korsakas suspected that the family was rescuing Jews. The woman went to the priest for advice and said she was thinking of denouncing them. The priest told her that by doing so she would ensure that the next three generations of her family would burn in hell.
