Witzhold pletsky was a hero of poland. His ancestors had been deported to russia for participating in january 18 63 18 64 uprising. He joined an underground polish scouting and guiding association called the z hp.

And thus the organization was illegal. This is the story of one such man. Look at that Druskin kin duskin? I'm going to read it directly off my notes. Gabby Gifford: Can you try reading that? We're talking about witz hold pletsky
On our first episode covering badasses we look at a much darker story than what we have covered before. This is the story of the man who voluntarily entered Auschwitz to save his country. The Tale of Witold is the story of Poland. And that is a rough and tumultuous one. See Patreon for an ad free experience and more perks https://www.patreon.com/stakuyi?l=it
