Who was Tusk’s grandfather? The Prime Minister from time to time refers to the story of Józef Tusk
Donald Tusk from time to time refers to various family stories in his interviews and statements. During yesterday’s speech, he mentioned his grandparents, emphasizing that they were not afraid to admit who they were. – They were both railway workers. A relic in our home to this day is the Pole’s card, which several hundred people in Gdańsk had, because no one else dared to be Polish during the occupation. They both spent the war in concentration camps. When 90% of people fled the former Free City of Gdańsk and chose Germany, among the several thousand who remained were two of my grandfathers, Poles: Józef Tusk and Franciszek Dawidowski. I dedicate this victory to them, said Donald Tusk.
Józef Tusk was a luthier and railway worker. In March 2023, Donald Tusk decided to record a short video and share it on social media. In the recording, he recalled the story of his grandfather Józef, who was arrested by the Gestapo in 1939. – He found himself in Stutthof, then in the Neuengamme concentration camp, and at the end of the war he was forcibly incorporated into the Wehrmacht. As soon as he could, he escaped to the Allied side and later returned to Poland. He returned to his Gdańsk. He raised his children in a city dominated by Germans and Poles, said Donald Tusk.
Donald Tusk’s second grandfather. Franciszek Dawidowski did not shake hands with Hitler
Donald Tusk’s second grandfather was Franciszek Dawidowski. After the war began, he was quickly detained and then sent to forced labor in the shipyard. Subsequently, he was transferred to Kętrzyn to work during the construction of Hitler’s headquarters. Donald Tusk’s mother, Ewa, referred to the situation that took place at that time. As she recalls, the ceiling collapsed at the construction site and her father, Franciszek, was among the injured. – He lost an eye and his leg was crushed. One day the entire medical staff started behaving as if they were going to a parade. And suddenly Hitler enters the room. The room was large, and he went from bed to bed and shook hands with the sick. Dad was lying next to a Polish friend. They both told each other that they would not shake hands with Hitler under any circumstances, so they pretended to be dead. Dad just squinted at what was going on. Hitler came to his bed, leaned over slightly, saw that his condition was serious, and just patted his daddy on the shoulder – said Ewa Tusk in an interview with “”.
