Warsaw is its people. The city has been and remains full of various life stories — from ordinary, grey people who stood out in no way, through those who led a riotous lifestyle, to saints who lived in asceticism. Their fates and paths often intertwined; they could pass each other on Warsaw’s streets. Do you want to meet them? I invite you for a walk! Who was Father Szustak in the 17th century?
