BLETCHLEY PARK’S ANNUAL POLISH DAY CELEBRATES ACHIEVEMENTS OF POLISH CODEBREAKERS

 Bletchley Park remembers the three mathematicians who are commemorated on its Polish Memorial – Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki. This year is the 70th anniversary of their contribution.

Guided tours of Bletchley Park will be available in both Polish and English languages and there will be three lectures: Eugenia Maresch will talk about the handover by the Poles to the British of their Enigma research; Frank Carter will be discuss “Enigma; the Polish Contribution”; and Derek Celinski, a Polish World War Two veteran, will give a unique insight into life in Warsaw during the German occupation.  Other Polish-themed activities throughout the day will be the showing of Polish films in the 1940’s Enigma cinema, traditional folk dancers and a Polish mass.  A full Polish menu will also be available in the restaurant.
