It’s the first day of spring, Pogoń top Poland’s first league and seem destined for Poland’s top tier, ‘the Ekstraklasa’. We might therefore expect the manager of Pogoń to be in an optimistic mood. However, Mr Sasal informs us he is a football manager rather than a politician, and as such, is not prone to [...]

The assistant consul of the Lithuanian Republic in Szczecin, Henryk Maculewicz, was present to accept a letter of protest about the treatment of the Polish minority in Lithuania. [...]

In 1946, it is estimated there may have been over thirty thousand Jews in Szczecin. In the fifties and sixties, the Szczecin suburb of Niebuszewo had such a thriving Jewish community that it became known popularly as ‘Lejbuszewo’. Today, there are no more than around sixty practicing Jews in Szczecin, although it has been estimated [...]
Pogoń Szczecin began the spring round of the 2011/12 season with a scrappy, hard-fought win against strong promotion rivals, Piast Gliwice. In the first half, a Pogoń side, featuring two new signings, the experienced Adrian Budka and the Brazilian Hernani, seemed to have lost their fluency and rhythm over the winter break, with a strong, [...]

“Wybrali Niemcy, więc byli traktowani jak Niemcy – They chose Germany, therefore they were treated as Germans.” It would appear to be fairly easy to distinguish between who is German and who is a Pole. However, as well as those who are either unambiguously Polish or German, there would also appear to be a [...]

Wojciech Smarzowski had previously directed a number of iconoclastic Polish films, including Wesele, (the Wedding), and [...]
Dorian looks like a six or a seven year old. He has always dreamt that one day he might meet his hero Spiderman, who he has only ever seen in a comic book. His dream may seem very naive and childish, but I’m sure that all of us would want to help once we realised [...]
‘International Women’s Day’ was first celebrated in Poland in 1948, when it was arbitarily imposed by the powers that be from the former Soviet Union, replacing the former Catholic celebration, the feast of Wincenty Kadlubek. Despite its inauspicious origins in the Stalinist period, ‘Dzień Kobiet’ grew to become accepted by Polish society and is now [...]
Dzień Kobiet (Women’s Day) is not really celebrated in Western countries, and certainly not in the U.K.. Some in Poland may see this day as an unecessary post-Communist relic. So has Women’s Day taken root in Poland? Is it more popular than Valentine’s Day? Szczecinan asked some women and girls in Szczecin to find [...]
