Kapuściński apartment where journalist wrote some of his most renowned books is finally recognised with commemorative plaque

The small plastic commemorative plaque reads: “The world-famous reporter, writer, poet and photographer lived in this building in the years 1965-1988.” Wydział Dziennikarstwa, Informacji i Bibliologii UW/Facebook

The plaque is the brainchild of Izabella Podzińska, a neighbour who as a young girl lived opposite the block of flats where Kapuściński once lived. Her determination has resulted in a small plastic commemorative plaque with the words: “The world-famous reporter, writer, poet and photographer lived in this building in the years 1965-1988.”
