Thanks for sharing that! I actually know very little of Pilecki, because I was mostly hearing about him from far-right teachers & I have an allergy to personality cults.

Ironically I've spend a lot of time reading about Gandhi .

But I will read more on him, and also about the 3 revolutionaries you mentioned.

> I hope that you are proud of your heritage/nation.

We're in this weird limbo in Poland, all the patriotic stuff has been hijacked by the virtue signaling (far)right and the centrists and left didn't bother to fight for it (even though all the remaining veterans of Warsaw Uprising were protesting the takeover).

I am proud, but it takes an actual effort to remind myself, that a real thing exists below the surface layer of daily politics...
