Marianna Sankiewicz and Gustaw Budzyński Commemorated
On Saturday, September 26, commemorative plaques dedicated to PhD Marianna Sankiewicz and Gustaw Budzyński were unveiled at 8 Fiszera Street in Gdańsk.
Marianna Sankiewicz was a long-time lecturer at Gdańsk University of Technology and served, among other roles, as the university’s vice-rector. She was born on September 26, 1921, which is why the ceremony took place exactly on the 105th anniversary of her birth. Her husband, Gustaw Budzyński, was a soldier of the Home Army, commander of the "Żniwiarz" company in the Warsaw Uprising, a political prisoner during the Stalinist period, and later a scientist and lecturer at Gdańsk University of Technology. At the university, he established the electrophony program in the then Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications.
