Kira Gałczyńska has passed away

Yesterday, on 20 December, passed away Kira Gałczyńska (1936–2022). She was a journalist and novelist, daughter of Konstany Ildefons Gałczyński. Her father's biography was the basis for a cooperation with our Museum.

It was in 1993, when our Museum published Kira Gałczyńska's Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński – Kriegsgefangener 5700 book as part of "Jeńcy wojenni 1939–1945. Fakty, Dokumenty, Sylwetki” series edited by Czesław Wawrzyniak. It was produced as a result of the author's collaboration with the Museum. Three years later Kira Gałczyńska published another book, Zbierz w sercu całą moc... (Hanka Ordonówna w latach wojny). Kira Gałczyńska and her parents are also the protagonist of our exhibition "Tatusiu, kiedy wrócisz? Polskie rodziny w latach II wojny światowej". In 1995 and 2016 she was a guest of our meetings held at the Museum

Kira Gałczyńska will remain in our memory as an open-minded, warm, friendly and empathetic person.
