This afternoon was spent wandering around the Old Town with Professor Janusz Sepiol who teaches at the 14th century Jagiellonian University. He was a true delight with an extensive knowledge of Polish history. However, what made our time together more engaging was that he had lived though the immediate post-war period, the domination of Poland and then the fall of communism. Even though he fully embraced the new Poland, he still exhibited little mannerisms and habits that must have been adopted the survive the dark ages of Stalin’s communism. We only recognized these signs because we had seen similar quirks in colleagues in China who had experienced the harsh life of Maoist China. Professor Sepiol did not miss an opportunity to gently chide the British for being tardy in coming to the aid of Poland at the start of World War II.
