About Zuzanna Łozinska :
(…) She was a great artist, underestimated by her colleagues. During her career, Zuzanna Łozinska treated her profession as a mission. When I first arrived to her theater in Jelenia Góra and through the maze of halls i came to her office where she lived, immediately I realized, that in the sphere of things she has not achieved anything in her long term career. Few poor-quality dresses, dozen memory photos and that is all. All her achievements were in her sphere of spirit. It was visible even in photographs. Surprisingly, with age, this woman's features became more and more refined, she became more and more beautiful. And the fact that she was not offered film roles only shows our directors. According to the opinion of the most capable people - actors - Zuzanna Łozińska was one of the biggest artists of polish stage. Janusz Kondratiuk.
