In this episode of the Learn Real Polish podcast, I talk about Haiti and Polish Haitians, people of Polish and African ancestry. It’s interesting that Haiti’s first president referred to Poles as European white Negroes. I also explain how Haitian Voodoo has absorbed the Black Madonna of Czestochowa as its main loa.

RP425: Sergiusz Piasecki
This is the Learn Real Polish podcast. This time I will talk about the Belarusian-Polish writer Sergiusz Piasecki. Even if he did not speak Polish until he was twenty, he is one of the best Polish writers of the 20th century. He was a smuggler and agent of Polish intelligence. His life is as interesting as his novels.
