I had an uncle who was a postal official at the Polish post office in Gdansk. He was one of the defenders of the Polish postal service and, after it capitulated, was shot by the Germans under the provisions of martial law.

Within ourselves is not very far and yet it is so far that one's whole life is not always long enough to get there. ↗
