Here you can find reports about Poland which is seen through the eyes of the journalist Anneke Truss and photographer Nicole Franks, who publish their stories on the online magazine Nomad & Villager.

They cover stories on people fighting the current and focus on places that tend to stay out of sight. They do this with humor and often a lump in their throats.
There is little left of the rich Jewish history of Tarnow after the Second World War. Yet Tarnow is the city where a remarkable love story begins. Between a Jewish woman and a Catholic man. Imprisoned in Auschwitz, they manage to escape together. They lose each other. And then find each other again, almost 40 years later.
