I first travelled to Poland in August 2018 as part of a WWII tour of Germany. Upon arrival, it did not take long for me to connect with Poland and her WWII history, a history of incredible suffering, heroism, courage, and after 49 years of oppression, eventual independence, and freedom. I became so engaged with Polish WWII history that I opened my own tour business ‘Poland At War Tours’ in 2023, designed to educate people about the events of WWII in Poland, including the Holocaust. My interest has also led to me commencing a PhD. on Intergenerational Trauma in Poland following WWII, the rationale for which I have outlined in the article below.
