Ania Tomicka, “Astray”, from "Seed of Memory" exhibition, 2017, oil on canvas. B. 1985 in Łódz, Poland. From @beautifulbizarremagazine

“Seed of Memory is my representation of one of those really rare and precious moments in life that you know you will remember forever. It is just a second but it’s full of melancholy and beauty, even if sometimes it is not in a positive context.”

― Ania Tomicka

A tweet from an American idiot who had no idea that Polish slavic people were deported to Auschwitz (a concentration camp created by Nazi Germany in 1940 specifically to intern Polish slavic people)…. Janina Nowak was born on 19th August 1917 in Będów, near Łódź, and was one of 31,000 Polish slavic women who the Germans deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau during the Second World War. She was registered at the camp on 12th June 1942 and received the prisoner number 7615. Less than two weeks later, on 24th June 1942, Nowak also became the first of 50 female prisoners who tried to escape from the camp. She fled while working near the Soła river as a member of a "Kommando" (work party) consisting of 200 Polish women.

She managed to reach Łódz (which was now called "Litzmannstadt", after being incorporated into the Third Reich) and managed to evade the German authorities until March 1943, when she was re-arrested.

On 8th May 1943, Nowak was brought to Auschwitz once again, where she received a new prisoner number - 31529. Later that year, she was transferred to Ravensbrück concentration camp, and was finally liberated in April 1945.

Not much is known about Nowak's post-war life. She died in 1999….

Like Łódz, Auschwitz was located in Polish territory that was annexed directly into the Third Reich after Nazi Germany invaded and occupied western Poland in 1939.

The Auschwitz concentration camp was established on Heinrich Himmler's orders in April 1940. Alongside Stutthof (opened in 1939) and Majdanek (opened in 1941), it was constructed initially to intern Polish slavic prisoners, who made up the majority of the inmates until 1942. The first transport of Polish prisoners to Auschwitz took place on 14th June 1940, and the Germans eventually deported a total of 150,000 Polish slavic people to the camp, approximately half of whom did not survive.

Pursuant to a law passed by the Polish Parliament in 2006, the anniversary of the first mass transport to Auschwitz is now commemorated annually in Poland on 14th June, as the National Day of Remembrance of the Victims of German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camps.

I sometimes think that the rabbit hole of American ignorance is so deep that you could probably use it to get from the USA to Australia….

i'm sorry but the shit that went on in 90s polańd hospitals... you had the łódz ambulance crews-doctors-funeral directors axis gang that killed people for money for yeeears, and the criminal trial was a joke. and my grandpa lived for 20 years with large dent in his head as when he had a serious accident and doctors had to open his skull, they decided 'eh he's not gonna make it anyways' and removed large part of his skull forever. patched him up in a way there was only skin over his brain. and it was a large area. imagine how fucking terrible living with that must've felt. and the same doctors kept giving him the wrong meds for years after the surgery. the fact grandpa lived for 20 years after that... crazy.
