A wonderful evening walking & talking in beautiful #Gdańsk.
This historic city is bursting with museums, bars & cafés, much like the rest of Poland. What a fabulous, & often very moving, couple of weeks I’ve had here. Dziękujemy za miłe powitanie!

Not a bad venue for the last talk of my Polish tour, the #2WW museum in #Gdańsk!
Other pic shows the fabulous #DrAndrzejDrzycimski. If you have read #AgentZo - it was his taped interviews with #Zo during the communist era that gave me so much material.
Home tomorrow!

Exquisite St Mary’s Church this morning.
With thanks to former Polish Ambassador to Britain, @arkadyrzegocki for being my guide at the church, & the 19c art collection in the #Sukiennice gallery in #RynekGłowny, #Kraków.

On this day nurse #EdithCavell and #PhilipeBaucq were shot at dawn for helping allied soldiers to escape Belgium during the First World War. This is a letter from one of those soldiers.

Ps, the seats in the museum lecture theatre are from Soviet communist-era passenger aircraft, repurposed brilliantly here!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Beautiful Poznań in the rain 🌧️
I’ve just given a talk in the #Enigma #Cipher Centre at Poznań University where #Zo studied maths alongside #MarianRejewski, the man who first broke the German enigma system!

Such fun being interviewed by Caesar here, for his Polish #Historia youtube channel.
I’ve been given a wonderfully warm welcome everywhere :)
