Quote: 

Adam Koprowski, a spokesperson for Jagiellonian University, told local newspaper Dziennik Polski: “We are extremely sorry that such a situation took place. “This banner, from what I know, was hung by someone at night and was immediately removed from the fence after this fact was revealed, along with other slogans. “The case was also reported to the police, which is conducting an investigation.” A spokesman for Krakow police said that the incident is being investigated under the crime of “incitement to hatred on the grounds of nationality.”

Lee: Kate Winslet Movie about Lee Miller

 There's a new Kate Winslet movie about Lee Miller. My review of the movie is below. 

The movie is not closely related to the themes of Bieganski. I post the review here because there are horrible things we are willing to talk about, and there are horrible things we aren't willing to talk about. The movie Lee, like society at large, is willing to talk about the Holocaust. But it's not willing to talk about another horror that had a catastrophic impact on Lee Miller's life, and the lives of millions of others.

A New Interview with Tadeusz Kocsciuszko Re: the 2024 Presidential Election

A blog reader has kindly shared with us a link to a recent interview with Tadeusz Kosciuszko regarding the 2024 American presidential election. As befits a diplomatic man, Kosciuszko is rather cagey, but one can gather from his comments which candidate he believes is best suited to the American presidency, in light of Kosciuszko's familiarity with the Founding Fathers. I, of course, concur with Kosciuszko's position. 

One can read the full interview here.
