In 1863 Stanisław Witkiewicz-father was 12 years old. On the hill behind his home-town Szawle the insurgents were hung. Following from far away those who were leaded to death, he was whispering: “this sacrifice will not be in vain!”. Two years before his death, in 1913, he gave his son a miraculously survived photograph of his uncle, Jan Witkiewicz, called “the only true Wallenrod”. He added there a message: “Think about him and about the life that went beyond the petty miseries of existence”. But the son, unwilling to admire the figures from the pantheon, named the legendary Batyr as a “troublemaker from Afghanistan”, whose fate is “an interesting story for a Pole”. A detailed analysis of the letters addressed by Stanisław Witkiewicz to Witkacy enables to recognize the sphere of personal tensions, having its source in the family traumas.
