Rainbow and the sun

-Roko Zaper

NOTES: This storybook was inspired by a documentary on the life of a Polish nobleman, Sebastián Berzeviczy, the alleged blood relative of Andre Benesz. My story follows Andre as he is told the tale of his relative by a mysterious old man. It is however just part of the story, as many years later Sebastián's daughter and her husband were hunted and murdered by Spanish spies. Only their son survived. With this as background, I wanted to examine our contemporary amnesia for the sacrifices and love that made our lives possible.

Niedzica castle, my ancestral

home. I had forgotten all

about it even though it had

become one of Poland's

biggest tourist destinations.

And I had become vice-

president of Poland's

parliament.
