  • We live in this house for 25 years. We needed some space for our 5 children when they where young. Also it was important to us to have a house with a garden where we could cultivate vegetables for the kids. Before we moved here we were living in a 18m2, two bedroom flat. When we were sleeping at night we were covering the whole floor.

  • My sister and her children was captured by ISIS and taken by one of them to a Syrian town. She was abused for weeks but one day she managed to escaped from the back window of the house. She was lucky, because she found some Muslim clothes in the house and nobody could recognise her or her daughters.<br />
<br />
She was going around the village and asking people for help but nobody took her in their house. Everyone in the village was Muslim but not everyone was with ISIS. They were good people also. It was winter and raining. She knocked on many people’s doors but no one opened her and nobody helped her, nobody accept her.
    40_160907_292.jpg
  • My house was there. Now it’s an ISIS prison. <br />
<br />
Only Yazidis were living in my village except one house with Muslims.<br />
<br />
This Muslim family came to our village 30 years ago, they had some problems in their village so they  moved to ours for shelter and we accepted them. <br />
<br />
When ISIS came to our area this same Muslim family bombed a lorry full of Yazidis on the 14th of August 2014.

  • I liked my house, my favourite toy was a doll dressed as a bride, but I didn’t take it with me because we were hiding in a room and I couldn’t go outside and take it. <br />
<br />
My mother said that we are going away for few hours and then we will come back so I didn’t worry about my doll. I didn’t take anything with me. Now 2 years later I miss my doll.

The Hot Spot in Lepida opened on the 26th of February 2016 in the grounds of the former Lepida psychiatric hospital.

People are allowed to go out, they have three meals a day, the prefabricated huts have a bathroom and are air-conditioned and compering to other refugee camps in Greece the conditions are bearable.

  • We spend about 300zł (€75) a week on food. We consume plain food. We don't buy any beverages or any industrial and processed food. We like to buy eggs from the village and freshly dug vegetables from the market .We buy all of our vegetables from the farmer's market but for big quantities we shop from the farmers in the village. When our kids were young we used to buy milk from the village but now there are no cows left in the village. We always eat at home. Once or twice a year we buy ready-made food and once a year on “our day” we go to a restaurant. Maria cooks in the house. She learned many things from her mother but when she got married she improved by reading cookery books. Now she knows by heart 32 different recipes for soups. Food should be made and eaten when it is still hot, not to stay for some days. We like simple meals with plain taste not so refined. We like Polish tastes. Variety is very important in our food, not to cook and eat the same food all the time. During our meals we read the newspaper and we discuss about the news.  Back in the old days we use to eat more fat food, more kluśki more pierogi. Now we eat more vegetables and more fruits that weren't available in Poland  in the past. I remember when we were kids we used to eat bread with sugar and that was a real delicacy, our kids didn't even want to hear about it.

Every weekend we eat together. The Sunday lunch is the biggest lunch for us. When we have guests or our family is visiting us we eat together on a big table with loads of food. The family dinner is a chance to meet and a cure for hunger. There are some dishes in our family based on cucumber and potatoes that nobody else has, like a family tradition

<br />
We are all students.<br />
<br />
Rarely we eat together. We coming back home at different times so it is hard to meet and have a lunch or dinner together. Everyone cooks for himself. We learned from our families, we watch how other people cook and copy them.<br />
<br />
The best meal is the one our parents make. Family dinner with our parents is very important, we don’t see them very often so when we go home we really enjoy it. Mateusz’s 22 family is in Denmark, only his mother is in Poland so when he visit her for dinner he stays to help her with the house too. Sometimes Anita cooks more than what she can eat so we eat the leftovers. Once she made a dinner for all of us.

<br />
On Sundays Lukasz goes to work very early so again we don't have the opportunity to eat all together. The Sunday lunch is earlier, usually around 2 o'clock. After the lunch we stay together and talk but the kids run to the computer to play games.

  • We spend about 250 to 300 zloty (EUR60 to EUR75) per 10 days for food. We don't like to buy our vegetables from supermarkets, we prefer small shops or the farmer's market. We do not believe in organic products. In the supermarkets we buy all the cleaning stuff, tins and processed food. We buy meat always from the same butcher, also bread from the same bakery.  <br />
<br />
We eat everyday together and most of the time we cook at home, rarely we order a pizza or a sushi or we go to a restaurant. Good company makes a good meal. We sit together, drink some wine, fight with the kid - she wants everything- talk about everyday things, gossip. Often we invite our parents to dinner with us and our house is open to friends. Konrad does the cooking and Ania is the assistant, but Ania always makes the desserts. Konrad is self-taught, when he was a student he was working in a restaurant in the USA, he likes trying new recipes. He enjoys making pizzas. Our food is a little bit different over the seasons. We don't buy tomatoes in the winter and we don't like cabbage and fat food in the summer.

  • Marcin 30  Joanna 34  Ignacy 2<br />
Lódz, Poland  average income, higher education<br />
Marcin is a cameraman and Joanna is Mama/ photographer<br />
<br />
Almost every Sunday we eat at our parents. One week in Joanna's, one week in Marcin's and sometimes all together. When Marcin was a kid all of his mother's family was coming from all over Poland to his grandmother's house for Christmas. Joanna remembers that when she was a kid the lunch on weekdays was quick and simple but on the weekends they used to go to her uncle and grandparents.

  • We spend 800zł to 1000zł (€200-€250) a week on food. We prefer to taste a product and if it is acceptable we buy it again. We found good ham in the local shop so we buy ham only from there.  Certain things that we buy are Polish and often we try tasty things from around the word. We know the real taste of feta cheese so only buy Greek feta. Once a month we buy mega packs from Makro. We buy fresh products from a deli supermarket. We shop in different places for different things. Mainly we eat at home, from time to time we might go to a restaurant. <br />
<br />
<br />
Because of our jobs we could work from home, so the person that is at home usually cooks. Michał  learned how to cook from his family and Eleni from cookery books. She is more experimental so we are always nervous of what we are going to have. During winter we eat a lot of meat and pasta, in the summer more vegetables. Our favourite summer dish is grilled aubergines and peppers with balsamic vinegar. We rarely eat soups, they might be tasty but there are time consuming. The mood of the family dinner depends on the day. Every dinner has its own colour. Eleni remembers that during communism the majority of the houses didn't have normal tables because most of the flats were too small, so people were eating on coffee tables. Dinner tables came back to Poland after 1989 and that changed the culture of eating.

  • Pre-fab housing in the First Reception Centre (Hot-Spot) of Leros, Greece.<br />
<br />
The Hot Spot in Lepida opened on the 26th of February 2016 in the grounds of the former Lepida psychiatric hospital.  At the beginning it served as a registration camp for refugees and migrants who were travelling to Europe through Greece but since the closure of the borders in March 2016 it serves as a permanent camp. People are allowed to go out, they have three meals a day, the prefabricated huts have a bathroom and are air-conditioned and compering to other refugee camps in Greece the conditions are bearable.

  • I moved to that flat 6 months ago. For me Nowa Huta is a very important place. I was born here, I have my friends here and I have many memories and emotions. Also the history of this place is of a great significance to me.

    Polish Family # 19 - house
  • We live here for 30 years. We live in a big and most popular part of Kraków - Nowa Huta. Antoni got this flat in 1967, Iwona moved to a flat in the next sector in 1979.  We were working together and that’s how we met. Probably it was an act of God that Iwona moved to that flat next to Antoni and not another one.
