Emilia Sluszkiewicz (1888-1982) came from a family of craftsmen with generations of ties to Sanok. Her father, Michal Sluszkiewicz, served as the city's mayor from 1920 to 1924, while her brother, Maksymilian, served as the last mayor of Sanok during the Second Polish Republic. Well-educated, emancipated, nationalist, and a keen observer of everyday life, she took up the pen at the outbreak of World War II and kept a wartime diary, the final turning point for Sanok being not 1945, but the spring of 1947 and the beginning of Operation Vistula. The ravages of war destroy the world of old values and social relations. Emilia records these changes with incredible sensitivity, portraying the attitudes of an intelligentsia woman in trying times. She continued writing her diary until the early 1960s, offering a grim picture of the communist takeover, but also of the social resistance of the Sanok residents. She captures her childhood and youth, which spanned the Galician era, World War I, and the interwar period, in memoirs written late in life. In these memoirs, while not shying away from sharp, sometimes controversial, opinions, she portrays the ethnic relations in the small, multi-ethnic town. Against the backdrop of global events, we receive a vivid account of customs, life's tragedies, and the joys of everyday life.
