From Jan Lewitt and George Him’s Polish Panorama, published June 1941. Designed to “bring to everyone’s mind a consciousness of what Poland was” - through pictures from photographers who cannot be named “as they are now in enemy-occupied territory”.

Franciszka Themerson to her husband, Stefan, from wartime London: “Imagine, my pet, I've tried for so long to create some sort of a warm home for you […] they fell apart, all these emergency friendships, these Blitz-created fragments of intimacy. I am only waiting for you”

The first slide of a presentation I’m giving today: a photograph of an advertisement for Café-bar “Fogg”, one of the first post-war cafés created in Warsaw, which was established by the singer Mieczysław Fogg in 1945

Gaudier-Brzeska on learning Polish: “All the time and quite regularly I am learning Polish, and by next winter I shall be able to read, for already I can manage without difficulty little things on the history of Poland, and those stupid conversations at the end of the exercises”

Franciszka Themerson, London 1941: “I feel almost like Robinson Crusoe on a desert island, but it’s actually worse than that here, because I'm surrounded by crowds all speaking some very alien language. It doesn't mean anything to me that it is Polish- I still can’t communicate.”
