When people hear that Stefania took her matura in Hungarian after living in Budapest for like a year, they're suitably impressed, but often assume it must have been mandatory. Reader, it was not. This was the Austro-Hungarian Empire circa 1907. She attended a Polish high school. Most of her CLASSMATES who were FROM BUDAPEST sat their matura po polsku. Stefania just wanted to show off, challenge herself, and prove a point. She is my favorite person in the world

#stefania tag #there are two common threads in people's accounts of stefania #1. she was charming beyond belief with striking red hair #2. her intellect and linguistic aptitude were intimidating & occasionally terrifying #according to her niece and nephew their entire extended family was like. in awe of her #and she was very close with her niece bronisława who took after her in appearance and intellect #bronisława + her husband + her 2 children were murdered in the holocaust & it devastated stefania
