First to Fight is the best book you can read on the start of World War II and Poland’s extraordinary wartime resistance. I only wish Roger Moorhouse 🇺🇦 had written it sooner so I could have used it for my research ;) Huge congrats Roger! I would love to be able to share a toast 🍻

It’s so great to see Pilecki’s story getting out there (especially when stuck at home), thanks for sharing Dominika!

#WitoldPilecki inspired many lives in Auschwitz and beyond, inc. me to follow in his footsteps for five years. I'm thrilled to share his story with one of my favourite WWII writers clare mulley, biographer of another great Pole, #thespywholoved. Join us @ bit.ly/3tkcdkD

Five years in #witoldpilecki's footsteps convinced me he's one of WWII's greatest heroes. The only reason this remarkable Pole and his mission to #Auschwitz not better known is because he fought Poland's Communist takeover postwar and was executed. He was born 120 yrs ago today.

#WitoldPilecki's mission to report on #Auschwitz crimes showed him to be one of the greatest truth-tellers. Thank you Anne Daly for making the connection to Caesar's brave work exposing Assad's regime. Looking forward to your doc #BringingAssadToJustice

Of course this will be brilliant Giles Milton downloading now!

Since my hero is 19th century feminist and war journalist Margaret Fuller, it’s a huge honor today to receive the Margaret Fuller Society award for “having worked in some significant way to promulgate the social ideals advanced by Margaret Fuller.” Thank you.

On the night of 21 September 1940, Witold #Pilecki arrived in #Auschwitz in transport II along with 1705 other prisoners from Warsaw. The Polish Secret Army intended to infiltrate KL Auschwitz, and Witold Pilecki was placed at the head of the mission. 1/4

Really proud of my amazing sister Chloe Fairweather who only went and got her 1st feature doc selected as the UK's official pick for #Oscars2022! The film covers domestic violence in Turkey and the remarkable women battling to stop. In cinemas Nov 25: m.imdb.com/news/ni63421643

A Rebel in Auschwitz just got shortlisted for a lovely prize, the Young Quills award, in which children and young people choose the shortlist. Honoured to be on with catherine barter and Natasha Bowen. Their books sound brilliant, will be reading with my crew!

Polish war hero #WitoldPilecki survived Auschwitz to report on Nazi crimes, but never got to return home. OTD 75 yrs ago he was executed by Communists for fighting postwar Soviet occupation of Poland, his story hidden+home razed. Nothing was to remain- please help share his story
