Dariusz Adam Zeller is a great Polish author and inspired me to make more work for Poland. He is currently writing a book about the German concentration camps in located in Austria during WWII exposing the forgotten history of Guzen and Mauthausen where many hundreds of thousands of Poles were brutally murdered. I hope to help him with some interview research.

 ✨✨WE REMEMBER ✨✨ ✨✨✨DAVID KNOWLES RIP  🥲🥲🥲 ✨✨✨ 

We are all very devastated and saddened to hear of the sudden death of David Knowles, the 32 Years old, brave, talented young journalist and creator of the award-winning podcast, Ukraine: The Latest .

David joined the major UK news title The Telegraph in 2020 and went on to become its head of social media. He was perhaps best-known for launching the daily podcast Ukraine: The Latest, which reported on the ongoing conflict with Russia. It became The Telegraph’s most listened-to podcast and won the Best News Podcast at the Publisher Podcast Awards.  

UK counter-terror police were drafted in after he died on 8th Sept 2024 in Gibraltar who died on holiday after a suspected cardiac arrest. David’s podcast was essential as it shared in detail the latest movements of Russian intelligence and gave the Ukrainian military and victims of Russian aggression a voice.

A fit, young man fur of life and strength does not just fall dead for no reason especially with the message he was delivering to us all. We can read between the lines to understand what truly happened…. 

✨✨✨ Our thoughts go out to family and friends at this very sad time may the angels guide you safely on David – thank you for everything you did for us all we will never forget your work, support, contribution to Ukraine – you are an example to us all such a brave, brave, brave young British man. ✨✨✨
