Description

In this interview Diana Habdank-Kolaczkowska briefly discusses her work at the Bletchley Park codebreaking center during World War II. She was a colleague of Alan Turing’s, with whom she spent the occasional evening listening to records, and speaks about him and his work in the 1940s. Still guided by the Official Secrets Act she signed when a young woman at Bletchley park, Habdank-Kolaczkowska speaks cautiously about her work and then only in general terms.
