I just read a graphic novel in French based on Witold Pilecki's report, Polish undercover officer in Auschwitz. Amazing story. Are you familiar with this history?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

So moving- so important. Some try to deny it but our voices which speak the truth and remember by sharing the stories of those who survived should drown them out. Beautiful shot.

@dustyloup Yes I know. For many years, the figure of Witold Pilecki was erased from the history. After the war, he was arrested and murdered by the communist authorities as a traitor to the nation. At his last visit with his wife, he stated that Auchwitz was a play in comparison with the communist prison.

[Peter H]

Perfect.
