This is our second visit to Poland on the podcast, but this time we're taking a deeper dive.
We're chatting to Tess Colman, one of Emma's dearest friends, who is Polish by descent. Tess's Grandfather, Alex Colman, moved to Australia from Poland with his family (including Tess's dad) after surviving World War II. There's even a book about his history, After Forty Years Silence, which we highly recommend you read and can be found on the Jewish Holocaust Centre's website (see show notes for link).
Tess and her family went back to visit a few years ago and she shares that experience, as well as more of the history of her family. She also talks about some wonderful memories of growing up with her Grandmother's amazing Polish cooking.
Emma adds a little from her brief time in Warsaw and together they daydream about when they can visit Poland together! Including the coast - which Emma again proves her lack of geographical knowledge by not realising that Poland does in fact have a coast!
