kazik, katy & the kommander’s car: (iv) granddad

, A slightly belated conclusion to our four-part series on singer-songwriter Katy Carr’s journey to meet the extraordinary man, Kazimierz Piechowski, who inspired her song ‘Kommander’s Car’. In this excerpt, Kazik takes Katy on a whirlwind tour of some of his childhood haunts, uncovering more troubling memories of his brutally interrupted youth and, most vividly, a message of hope and of inner strength.
