Ja, zwykły szary człowiek...

Photograph at the Ja, zwykły szary człowiek... Memorial

The act of Piotr Paweł Szczęsny, a Polish chemist, remains a stark point of remembrance. He took his own life in Warsaw in October 2017 as a deliberate statement against the governing Law and Justice party's policies.

Born in Kraków in July 1963, Szczęsny was known for his membership in Mensa. His final act was a profound expression of dissent, forever linking his name to the political climate of his time.
