Wola - how did this Warsaw district develop? Part 2

Just a few kilometers from the center of Warsaw, Wola has developed over the years as an industrial, social and cultural area, becoming one of the symbols of the dynamic changes taking place in the capital.

In the latest episode of our PodGAZt, we invite you to explore the fascinating history of Wola. This time we focus on the industrial and business roots of the district, and how the growing local business influenced the lives of residents. What kinds of companies were established in Wola? What conditions did they provide for their employees? And what made the Warsaw Gasworks play such an important role in the history of the place? These and other questions are answered by our guest Dr. Krzysztof Mordyński, a historian, museum curator and doctor of humanities, who with passion and in-depth knowledge brings the most interesting threads of the district's history.

The episode also looks at the daily lives of the workers of these factories, trying to understand what life was like in Wola at the time of its greatest industrial boom.
