Frycz, Traczyk-Stawska, Magiera, Litewka and more. We bid farewell to these outstanding Poles in recent months.

In 2026, Poland mourned the loss of numerous notable figures, including conductor Wojciech Michniewski, actress Catherine O’Hara, and actor Edward Linde-Lubaszenko. Other significant deaths included writer Wiesław Myśliwski, actor Chuck Norris, and prominent figures from various fields such as politics, sports, and the arts.
