Jane Rogoyska is the acclaimed author of Gerda Taro: Inventing Robert Capa. Trained as a filmmaker, she has a particular interest in the turbulent period from the 1930s to the Cold War in Europe. Her research into the 1940 Katyń Massacre led to her first novel, Kozłowski (long-listed for the Desmond Elliot Prize) and Still Here: A Polish Odyssey which she wrote and presented for BBC Radio 4. Her latest non-fiction book, Surviving Katyń (Oneworld, April 2021), forms the concluding part of her investigation into this subject. Jane will be using this residency to develop new ideas for her next book.
