Ewelina Zaleska, an author of a presented diary, was a wife of August Zaleski, Polish diplomat, minister of foreign affairs (1926-1932, 1939-1941) and Polish president in exile (1947-1972). She wrote her memories “Our Journey” in September 1939, when the German-Polish and then World War II broke out. She first describes her journey from Psarskie in Greater Poland to Warsaw, where she reunites with her husband. After a few days they both decide to leave the country. In that respect they are similar to the Polish ruling elites, although with one major difference: Zaleski was not in public office at the moment, so he cannot be judged in the same way. Memories written by his wife shed a new light on this controversial decision of Polish officials, moreover, they are quite informative in their depiction of social life in the first month of the war as well as reactions of public opinion to somemajor events.
