Sabina Sebyłowa is a woman who decided to live together with a young, promising Polish poet, Władysław Sebyła, even though she was aware that his profession did not allow her to support her family. Sebyłowa was a liberated, feminizing woman who developed her passions, supported her husband, worked hard and was appreciated professionally. From the birth of her son, she began to keep a diary, keeping the fleeting family, social, cultural and social moments of pre‑war Warsaw. After her husband’s death, she cared for the memory of him, secured his entire legacy, thus wanting to restore the memory of him as an outstanding poet, beginner painter, radio host, and a man of wise understood culture. Sebyłowa’s mission until the end of her life was to keep the memory of her husband.
