Book about Roman Czernecki

The 10th of July 2018 marks the official publication of a book about our patron by Mirosław Skrzypczyk - “We are still teaching. Roman Czernecki and his schools in Słupia and Szczekociny”. The book was published by the EFC Foundation and describes an outstanding teacher, organizer of a secret school system with its headquarters in Słupia, as well as the founder of the first post-war high school in Szczekociny.

It’s a unique portrayal though – we get to know Roman Czernecki from different perspectives and through various stories: his own memoirs and journal notes, archival documents, the notes of his wife Janina, his relatives’ memories and the reports of his friends, colleagues, teachers and students. In this portrayal, Czernecki is captured in moments of borderline experiences, which required strong reactions to change and making tough choices.
