about young people teaching Members of Parliament why the Holocaust is important. Then think about their opinions on the topic of a plan to build a monument in front of the Houses of Parliament. Agree or disagree with them. 

The workshops about the Hungarian Jews that students from Krakow participated in on 31st Jan in Auschwitz Remembrance Place , block 18, arranged in a very modern way.

  I found this episode of a Polish series Days of Honour. This is a story about Maria Konarska who is a doctor and a widow and mum; her two sons are fighting in AK (the Polish Army in an occupied land) and she works in a hospital serving everyone , especially those imprisoned in Pawiak prison, sending clothes to the poor, teaching students at Tajne Komplety - which was an hidden type of studying during regime etc. What I like the most is the fact that nobody is neither white nor black - the two doctors (she was surprised by the fact that  an old mate from before the war who is now at German army is placed in her hospital)at the different side of the war but trying to help ill people as much as they can.  See if you like it - the cast is superb - Ms Gniewkowska, Mr Englert, Ms Romantowka, Mr Globisz, Mr Woronowicz, Ms Cielecka in later episodes, young actors who play teammates - two sons of Konarscy (Michal and Wladek -  Jakub Wesolowski and Jan Wieczorkowski respectively), Jan (Antoni Pawlicki)who has a Jewish wife Lena (Agnieszka Więdłocha) and tries to rescue her from ghetto and Bronek (Maciej Zakoscielny)who fell in love with an actress Wanda (Maja Ostaszewska/Magdalena Różczka); she was prisoned in Pawiak where probably she was raped by a German officer. The cast of Germans also brilliant- Mr Adamczyk, Mr Malaszynski, Mr Bluszcz, Mr Wieczorek, Mr Kozyra .... A scriptwriter is Ms Ewa Wencel - she also plays a woman who rescues a child who must have gone through a trauma and probably is a Jewish child . A must see if you are interested in war films and history of good and bad people mingled in the time of choice when if someone wants to rescue his or her relative from the hell of concentration camp(Karol) is not a totally bad person any more. And the resource for the true models for all of them are here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cichociemni

            There were many heroes and heroines during the II World War. About some of them we know a lot but about the others not so much. There were many people who did many brave things and who can be a great inspiration for young people but we don’t even know that they existed. 

            Janina Bodnar-Takajszwili is one of them. She was a treasurer of one of the biggest underground grouping in Poland, a secretary of famous Andrzej Rzewuski and because of her, contact with London government was well kept. 

            Her life was always in danger because she used parts of her home as a secret warehouse for things like weapons, ammunition, patriotic symbols which were also at this time illegal, grenades and explosives. She also kept hidden a whole archives of WSGO “Warta”. All of these things were hidden in different places, like on the attic or under floor boards. Every time enemy troops were in her house she had to keep calm and think quickly to not reveal any information about wat was in the house or what she knew about underground activities. 

            Her life was hard and difficult. She had to lie to her friends and family to keep her work as a secret. But she did all of it because she loved her country and she wanted to make it free again. Even though she probably was scared she still fought, and was only thinking about the wealth of Poland and not about herself and her personal problems.
