A Polish migrant in 20th Century Dublin: three years in the life of Stasko Markiewicz.
October 10 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Patrick Quigley will explore how Stanislaw (Stasko) Markiewicz, son of Casimir and stepson of Countess Markievicz, stayed in Dublin at three critical stages of his life.
He had a happy childhood in Rathgar before leaving Dublin for Ukraine in 1915, returned to comfort the Countess on her deathbed in 1927 and emigrated from Poland to Ireland in 1935.
The talk will reveal how Dublin supported and disappointed him in a life of shifting fortune.
