LESZEK ŻEBROWSKI | JAN POSPIESZALSKI ROZMAWIA #265

In the latest episode of the podcast "Jan Pospieszalski Talks #265," we host renowned historian and journalist Leszek Żebrowski. The conversation focuses on a critical analysis of the official findings regarding the tragic events in Jedwabne in the summer of 1941. During the podcast, Leszek Żebrowski discusses key sources, the archaeological excavations, and postwar investigative threads related to this painful chapter in history. I highly encourage you to listen to this incredibly engaging and fact-filled discussion. __________________________________ 👇👇 BECOME A PATRON 👇👇 🟥PATRONITE: https://patronite.pl/janpospieszalski... ☕ Coffee?
