Karolina Maczek

Karolina Maczek is the granddaughter of General Stanisław Maczek, and was raised by him and his wife, Zofia Maczek, in Edinburgh from the age of two. She is a proud supporter of the many Polish schools named in General Maczek’s honour, as well as other commemorations and memorials honouring the soldiers of the First Polish Armoured Division. Karolina was granted a Polish passport by President Andrzej Duda in recognition of the fact that her grandfather had been stripped of his Polish citizenship after the Second World War ended and the Cold War began.
