 ==Background==
 ::In 1939, a Polish army officer named Jan Matyjaszek was shot and wounded fighting the Nazis. He returned to his village. As the war drew to an end, and the Red Army approached, he plunged his hands into buckets of soil. This was because it had become known that, if you had cracked and dirty hands, you would be identified as a worker and be allowed to survive, while those with the smooth hands of the officer class were shot. Matyjaszek passed the test, and left Poland shortly afterwards, travelling via Romania and France to Scotland. There he met and married a young girl from Donegal named Isobel MacShane, who gave birth in 1948 to a son they named Josef Denis.<ref>[http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:CVYQ39sHE8IJ:www.bbk.ac.uk/about_us/fellows/orator/denis_macshane.doc+Denis+MacShane%22+Poland&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=uk&client=firefox-a Dr Denis MacShane MP: An Oration to Welcome Him as Fellow of Birkbeck College, 9 March 2005], [[Birkbeck College]], accessed 25 April 2008.</ref>
