Agnieszka Kulawiak

She graduated in Philosophy and Sociology from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland. After moving to Warsaw, she began working as a journalist. She was a staff writer for daily and weekly press, readily contributing reportage from Poland and other countries of the Eastern Bloc. 

The project on the concentration camp survivors turned out to be her vocation. “It was a subject that absorbed me completely. For me, it could go on forever. Unfortunately, its participants are passing away and now our main task is not to come too late.”

Her second book Dzisiaj rozmawiamy o Pani (Today we are talking about you) was published by Wydawnictwo Literackie in 2017.
