Massively underrated book by an author known almost exclusively for a single novel.

Exploring issues of living as a refugee & political exile, the trauma associated with having lived under totalitarianism, & adapting to normality in a strange land.

The world’s largest stained-glass window has been unveiled at a church in the Polish city of Kraków.

Measuring 426 m2 (4,585 square feet) - slightly larger than a basketball court - the window took almost two years to create notesfrompoland.com/2024/04/23/wor…

💥🇷🇺Gazprom to become a sponsor of Hungary's government-connected Ferencváros (Fradi) football club, Hungary's Blikk reports, after the club announced that a 'major international firm' will sponsor them. Fradi's president is also deputy chairman of Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party.🤷‍♂️

Net positive sentiment towards Poland among Ukrainians has collapsed from 92 a year ago to 26 now.

The same polling indicates that blockades of the border by Polish truckers and farmers are the primary cause of the decline.

The FBI needed to confirm the survival rumours were not true, which they did in 1945. Then they wanted to know why people were spreading rumours & follow potential leads to other Nazis/crimes. All in my history book which says Hitler died in a bunker in Berlin. Because he did.

Rather than threatening to do this again, why not incentivise employers to take on disabled people, or, perhaps ask why so many disabled people who are willing & able to work, cannot find a job.

Reminder that the kindling that lit the Brexit bin-fire was demonisation of people from central and Eastern Europe. Whose worst politicians are now their pals somehow.
