🇮🇪🤝🇵🇱
On the 2nd of October, 1944, the Warsaw Uprising 🇵🇱 came to an end after 63 days of bitter fighting.
A few days later in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪, the renowned Irish political leader, Éamon de Valera (📷 below), then serving as ‘An Taoiseach’ (‘Prime Minister’) spoke the following words about Poland’s gallant wartime struggle to his supporters who were gathered at the annual political conference ‘Ard Fheis’ of his political movement ‘Fianna Fáil’ – the ‘Soldiers of Destiny’.
📰The ‘Irish Independent’ newspaper, dated Thursday, October 12, 1944, carried the following report about his statement:
💬“We sympathise more particularly and especially with the people of Poland,” said Mr. De Valera.
“They have had a long and sad history, almost as long as our own, until we got our own freedom in this part of the country. They were partitioned too, and we hope that they will see their country restored in its entirety, and, like the other small countries who have been devastated by this war, that in a short time their wounds will be healed and that they will be able to get back to their old life once more.”
📓Éamon de Valera, born 14 October 1882 in New York City, famously fought in Dublin City during the Easter Uprising of 1916.
He then went on to lead the political fight against British rule in Ireland during the War of Independence 1919 to 1921. Sadly this war left Ireland partitioned, and by such De Valera could find ‘common cause’ with Poland’s fate in 1939 when she was partitioned by N**i Germany and The Soviet Union.
In 1932 Éamon de Valera was elected ‘Prime Minister’ and would go on to lead Ireland during the wartime years. From 1959 to 1973 he served as President of Ireland.

Jerzy Kasprzak „Albatros” turns 93 today💐!
In the he was 15 and delivered much-awaited letters sent by civilians.
In 1960’s there were still some letters that hadn't been delivered yet because in 1944, after the capitulation of the Warsaw Rising, someone found a bag with letters in the ruins... Unfortunately, the whole population of Warsaw was expelled from the city and many years passed before they returned... The letters 'waited and waited' for the recipients...
With his book in 1960's, Jerzy Kasprzak, set off on a 'journey' to find families who were still waiting for letters sent in 1944!
Amazing story😍💓
Happy Birthday, our Hero!

Anastazja Ipatow-Kowalczyk (1921-2020)
#OTD in 2020 Anastazja Ipatow-Kowalczyk passed away. Her incredible story related to #WW2 and the #WarsawRising1944 was writted down by her son, Zbigniew Kowalczyk: "When Anastazja had her rest periods, she would often go down to the cellars to see if she could help with the children or with the wounded. The civilians were crowded into many of the basements. Three cellar rooms at the front of the building were used as the hospital. Other basement rooms were set aside for AK supplies. Sometimes she would see if she could find water for the babies. Clean water was in short supply and becoming scarcer so she would go searching for what she could find among the lads. At other times, she would sit with the wounded. The injured boys who were able to speak used to like someone talking to them. Anastazja wouldn’t know what to say but she would tell them about her life or about things that she had done before the war and her talk seemed to be comforting. They would ask Anastazja to stay “just a little longer...”💔 📚You may order a copy of the book in the UK, please contact us or Zbigniew Kowalczyk.

The "Poland, I’m in Love" campaign honors all Home Army members, but this video focuses on young women in its ranks, who fought and lost their lives.
Introducing a few medics, couriers, Intelligence operatives and soldiers, we honor thousands these few represent. Take, for instance, Anna Smoleńska, designer of the "Fighting Poland symbol" and victim of KL Auschwitz; take Janina Przysiężniak, courier and medic 7 months pregnant when murdered by communist Security Services; take Zofia Jarkowska-Krauze, fallen in the Warsaw Uprising 18 days after her wedding.
In addition to the stories of these young women, there’s a story behind the video, particularly the music. Recently, we were contacted by Mr. Allan Roy Wilson, songwriter, author, and teacher of Lethbridge, Canada, who’d experienced a personal tragedy two decades ago. Mr. Wilson offered us his song, "I Just Want You to Come Home" composed in memory of his late son, as soundtrack for a commemoration project of our choice. The piece, very universal in its expression of grief and loss, seemed naturally suited for a video portraying young Home Army women who sacrificed their lives for their country.

Yesterday in St. Mary's, some second year pupils came together to reflect on Polish-Irish connections surrounding the Warsaw Uprising which occurred 77 years ago.
In the text below, and the accompanying video, the pupils share what they have learned in class from the various Veterans of the Polish Resistance in World War Two, who have shared their stories with the class over the past two weeks.
The whole class has demonstrated a great interest in this tragic period of history, and continue to seek more answers from the various Polish Veterans, which their class is in contact with.
Special thanks to the following pupils who made this video possible:
Nikola Majkowska, Maura Gleeson, Katie Ryan, Clodagh Daly, Holly Tobin, Emily Ferris, Kayla Tokarska, and Olivia Kennedy.
Well done.
MEMORIAL CANDLE LIT TO MARK THE END OF THE WARSAW UPRISING 77 YEARS AGO.
Witamy wszystkich.
On October the 2nd, Polish people everywhere will have commemorated the 77th anniversary of when the Warsaw Uprising came to an end. On that day, in 1944, after 63 days of intense fighting, 200,000 Polish people lay dead, and the City of Warsaw was completely destroyed.
We here in Ireland know all about Uprisings, such as 1916.
Poland, like Ireland, also has a history of fighting for their freedom, with several Uprisings taking place.
Two of us here, are of Polish background, like many others in St. Marys.
In class we have learned the stories of various Polish Veterans who fought in the Warsaw Uprising 77 years ago.
One such veteran, L**h Gade, but known as Lucky Les, told our class about his numerous lucky escapes from death during the Warsaw Uprising. He had many close calls, hence his nickname.
Les told us that he was a soldier at the age of 14.
Same age as me now!
Another veteran, Ziggy Swistak, also shared his story with our class.
Following his capture by the Germans during the Warsaw Uprising he ended up at Dachau Concentration Camp where he almost met his death, twice in fact, while waiting for a shower, which was actually a gas chamber. He also told us how he suffered on ‘the Death March’ before his liberation by the American Army.
Another veteran, Bill Biega, who actually married his wife during the Uprising, was a grandson of a Limerick Lady named Mary McDonagh. Bill and his wife were happily married for 75 years.
Following the Warsaw Uprising, the Irish people, through the Irish Red Cross Society, donated 10,000 pounds for relief and distress in Poland. Later we donated shiploads of cattle and pigs.
After the war, many Polish students came to study in Ireland. One such lady, Ewa Konopacki in Canada sent us this message which we would like to share with you now: “Ireland has a special place in my heart. I went there in 1947 to study at Cork University. I was treated so well by the Irish and made feel so welcome. The Irish and Poles share so much in common, we always make a stand for what is right!”
We will conclude by praying for all who battled for freedom and justice in previous generations, not just in Ireland and Poland, but all over the world too.
We also pray for those who continue to seek justice in righteous causes.
I will now call upon Emily and Kayla, to light a candle for these intentions.
Dziękujemy.
