Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Pre WW2 skier Bronislaw Czech
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I just saw a TV programme about Auschwitz that mentioned pre WW2 Polish skier Bronislaw Czech, someone who up till now I wasn't aware of. A Polish sportsman and artist he was a gifted skier, he won championships of Poland 24 times in various skiing disciplines, including Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and ski jumping. A member of the Polish national team at three consecutive Winter Olympics, he was also a mountain climber and one of the pioneers of mountain rescue in the Tatra Mountains and a glider instructor. During the Second World War he was a soldier of Polish Underground (Home Army) and courier from occupied Poland to the West. Arrested in 1940 and imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp, he was given an offer by the Nazis to train German sportsmen in exchange for his release. Bronisław Czech firmly rejected the offer, and he later died at Auschwitz camp on June 5, 1944. http://archiwalna.muzeumtatrzanskie.pl/?strona,doc,pol,glowna,1426,0,262,1,1426,ant.html

If he had accepted the offer to train Germans in skiing he would have had a much better existence and a better chance of surviving the war, however his moral stance would not let him accept the tempting offer. One has to admire his moral courage, I'm not sure how many others in his situation would have done the same.
