Bogusia Wojciechowska is the daughter of two displaced Poles who met in England in 1948. She has a BA in History and a MA in Comparative Social History from the University of Warwick, and a PhD in Economic and Social History from the University of Kent at Canterbury. Her father, who had been in the Polish Army, did not want to go back to his home, near Lwow, as it was no longer a part of Poland. Some of his family had been deported to Siberia and had perished there. Bogusia’s mother, meanwhile, had lived in Warszawa until the end of the Uprising in 1944 and. like so many of her family, she was taken to a concentration camp in Germany and as a slave laborer to Austria. Bogusia’s determination to give recognition to the suffering of her parents’ generation, a generation that has been marginalized in history for the sake of political expediency, led to her book Waiting to be Heard: The Polish Christian Experience Under Nazi and Stalinist Oppression 1939-1955.
