Invitation to the lecture and concert dedicated to Witold Pilecki one of the greatest wartime heroes.
Captain Witold Pilecki – member of the underground Home Army (Armia Krajowa) in German-occupied Poland. He was the author of Witold’s Report, the first comprehensive Allied intelligence report on Auschwitz concentration camp and the Holocaust. During World War II, Pilecki volunteered for a Polish resistance operation that involved being imprisoned in the Auschwitz death camp in order to gather intelligence and later escape. While in the camp, he organized a resistance movement and informed the Western Allies of Nazi Germany’s Auschwitz atrocities as early as 1941. He escaped from the camp in 1943 after nearly 2½ years of imprisonment. He took part as a combatant in the Warsaw Uprising in August–October 1944. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki
Witold Pilecki was murdered by communist authorities after the war in 1948.
British historian Norman Davies writes: „If there was an Allied hero who deserved to be remembered and celebrated, this was a person with few peers.”
