One photo for the Warsaw Uprising anniversary

From the batch of photos so kindly sent by my cousin Teresa from Canada. Dated October 1996, captioned in my mother's hand "Kolacja w naszym domu. Panowie to koledzy Bohdana z Powstania Warszawskiego". (Supper at our house. The gentlemen are Bohdan's comrades from the Warsaw Uprising.) My father, then 73, raising a toast across the table to Albert Jarosz and Józef Malinowski, their wives and my mother (right).

The date suggests a gathering commemorating the end, rather than the beginning of the Uprising.

On a personal note, I am sad not to have attended this year's commemorations, but I feel that keeping away from mass events (even if wearing a mask!) makes sense at a time of pandemic and rising numbers of new infections.
