This is Ognisko Polskie’s Monte Cassino 80, supported by Polish Cultural Institute – a podcast series where, in this 80th anniversary year we reflect on the Battle of Monte Cassino in the second world war, and consider the contribution of Poles to the battle itself as well as to the broader Italian Campaign – We hope to examine how 80 years on, the battle of Monte Cassino still reverberates – and consider its cultural and its emotional impact on Poles down the generations.
