SUMMARY:18.10| Wlodek Pawlik jazz concert
DESCRIPTION:Włodek Pawlik presents: Pawlik & Pawlik Duo!\nSaturday 18 October 2025\nBar 7 pm / music 8 pm \nTickets £20 on the door and Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wodek-pawlik-presents-pawlik-pawlik-duo-tickets-1618511634869?aff=oddtdtcreator  \nWłodek Pawlik\, a jazz pianist and composer\, is the only Polish winner of the Grammy Award in jazz\, for the album “Night in Calisia”!\nHis records have reached gold and platinum sales.\nHe composed music for a musical Irena about life of Irena Sendler\, premiered in 2022 at the Musical Theatre in Poznań that met with enthusiastic reception from the audiences and critics\nPawlik & Pawlik Duo is a concert project of father (Włodek Pawlik) and son (Łukasz Pawlik) – two generations of a musical family. \nThe core of the repertoire consists of compositions by Włodek Pawlik\, Grammy Award winner for his album “Night in Calisia”. In turn\, Łukasz Pawlik (winner of the Berlin Jazz & Blues Award)\, makes himself known as a cellist\, and therefore one of the few artists to use this instrument in jazz.\nThe duo’s music defies clear-cut classification. Apart from jazz\, it contains elements of world music and highland folklore. Although both musicians are classically trained instrumentalists\, their element is improvisation and what is created here and now.\nSet 1: Włodek Pawlik plays his original compositions and jazz standards! \nSet 2: Pawlik & Pawlik Duo: Włodek Pawlik and Łukasz Pawlik play music from their “Pawlik & Pawlik Duo” acclaimed album!\n \nVideo (Pawlik & Pawlik Duo Live @ Studio im Agnieszki Osieckiej Polish Radio3):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jq3YqSrMTI&t=148s\n\n\nTickets and more

SUMMARY:25.10|Book launch of The Dolls We Left Behind by Eugenia Krajewska
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the launch of The Dolls We Left Behind by Eugenia Krajewska\, with readings from the book and conversations with the author’s editor and family.In 1940\, Soviet authorities deported more than a million people from eastern Poland\, tearing families from their homes and sending them to remote labour camps. Among them was Genia Wenserska\, just a child living in the border town of Mołodeczno\, whose world was upended overnight.The Dolls We Left Behind is her remarkable memoir\, drawn from vivid memories and diary entries written in exile. It traces her family’s arrest\, survival in a Siberian penal colony\, and eventual escape with others fleeing to join General Anders’ Army to safety in Persia.The book is both a personal testament and a historical witness to a period in history which should be better known in the west and is not forgotten by the descendants of the families who survived Stalin’s ruthless policies.Saturday 25 October 2025\, 3:30 – 5:00 pmMultimedia RoomPlease join us for this celebration of Polish wartime history and memory!

SUMMARY:09.11| The presentation of the wartime German Enigma machine at POSK!
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday 9th November 2025 at the Polish and Cultural Association building (POSK) in Hammersmith\, Dr Simon Selby\, Honorary Consul for the Republic of Poland\, will be presenting POSK with a life size reconstruction model of the wartime German Enigma machine\, whose secret military messages were transcribed in seemingly indecipherable codes\, first broken by Polish cryptographers. The methods used by the Polish code breakers were later imitated and developed by British cryptographers like Alan Turing at Bletchley Park\, saved countless lives of Allied soldiers and were reputed to have shortened the Second World War by at least 2 years.\nThe process will be described at the presentation ceremony by Dr Simon Selby and by Dr Andrzej Suchcitz\, retired chief archivist at the Sikorski Institute and Polish Museum. The model will be on display at the POSK entrance hall for an indeterminate period.  It will be placed in a specially constructed display cabinet and will be accompanied by clear signage giving the history of the Enigma code breaking project in both Polish and English.
