Franz Kafka, a Prague-born writer, explored themes of alienation, existential dread, and oppressive bureaucracy in works like The Trial and The Metamorphosis.

Michał Drzymała became a symbol of fighting with germanization, when Poland was being partitioned. Polish people were likely to not get permission to build their houses. In a form of protest, Drzymała decided to buy a circus caravan, and live in it with his family. According to the goverment, a caravan standing in one place for over 24 hours was legally a house, so Drzymała would move his caravan by a few inches daily, to bypass the law. He became well-known for his creativity, and a lot of people would actually come to Poland, to see his home in real life. I believe that it'd make a great historical fun fact as a stamp.

Alan Turing was an inspirational man, who helped shorten the Second world war by many years, and saved millions of lives, by cracking the German enigma code. He also created the first "computer" as we know it today. He was never given any praise or awards for his genius work, instead he was given punishment for being Gay. He deserves the recognition and praise for his incredible achievements in life. I think the stamp should be celebrating his birthday, 23rd June, celebrating him.

Policarpa Salavarrieta, also known as "La Pola," was a Colombian revolutionary and a prominent figure in the early struggle for Colombian independence from Spanish colonial rule. She is considered a national hero in Colombia for her bravery and dedication to the cause of independence. Policarpa Salavarrieta was born on January 26, 1795, in Guaduas, a town in present-day Colombia. She grew up in a tumultuous period marked by tensions between Spanish colonial authorities and those who sought to break free from Spanish rule. Salavarrieta became involved in revolutionary activities at a young age. She joined a network of independence supporters who were working to undermine Spanish control in Colombia. Her role often involved gathering intelligence, distributing propaganda, and aiding rebel leaders. In November 1817, at the age of 22, Salavarrieta's involvement in the independence movement was discovered by Spanish loyalists. She was arrested and accused of being a spy for the rebels. Despite facing interrogation and torture, she did not betray her comrades or reveal important information. On November 14, 1817, Policarpa Salavarrieta was executed by the Spanish authorities.

Policarpa Salavarrieta's legacy continues to inspire Colombians and serves as a reminder of the courage and determination displayed by those who fought for their country's freedom. Her story is often told as part of Colombia's struggle for independence and is celebrated on various occasions, including Colombian Independence Day on July 20th.

Chernobyl Liquidators Day, observed on December 14th in Ukraine, is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring and remembering the courageous individuals who participated in the cleanup and containment efforts following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. These individuals, known as "liquidators," played a critical role in mitigating the consequences of the disaster and protecting the safety and well-being of others. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster was one of the most catastrophic nuclear accidents in history, with far-reaching environmental, health, and social impacts. The liquidators were volunteers, including firefighters, military personnel, and plant workers, who were called upon to respond to the crisis. Many of them were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation during their efforts to stabilize the situation. Chernobyl Liquidators Day serves as a day of remembrance and recognition for these brave individuals who risked their lives to contain the disaster's aftermath. Ukrainians and people around the world use this day to express their gratitude and sympathy for the liquidators and their families. Commemorative events, ceremonies, and educational programs are held on this day to raise awareness about the long-lasting effects of the Chernobyl disaster and the sacrifices made by the liquidators. It is a time for reflection on the importance of nuclear safety, environmental protection, and the resilience of those who responded to a crisis of unprecedented magnitude.
