KRESY-SIBERIA VIRTUAL MUSEUM

On the 20th Anniversary of the creation of Kresy-Siberia - we are thrilled to unveil the newly re-built virtual museum at https://Kresy-Siberia.org in time for the commemorations on the 17 September 2021.
As you know we have been working extremely hard for well over a year now on a total rebuild of our virtual museum to bring the computer programming up-to-date which will ensure the preservation of the platform into the future. This has meant creating an entirely new word press platform and then migrating every single item (every photo, every biography, every testimony, every document, every gallery etc) from the old platform over to the new one.

A huge thank you to our wonderful Shelley Upton for her tireless work and dedication in building the new site. We may still have a few items to iron out, including translations, but Shelley is still hard at work 🙂

Thanks also to Stefan Wisniowski and Irena Lowe.

Please visit and let us know your thoughts.

- in prisons and correctional labor camps and correctional labor colonies subordinate to the Main Board of Camps and Correctional Camps of the NKVD, and from March 1946, the USSR MWD, or

II. The cash benefit is awarded for the repression that took place in 1936-1956.

III.

IV. The cash benefit is granted to a person with Polish citizenship on the date of submitting the application for granting the cash benefit.

V. The cash benefit is granted, by way of an administrative decision, by the Head of the Office for Veterans and Victims of Oppression, at the request of a person with veteran rights under one of the titles listed above for the period 1936-1956.

VI. The application must be accompanied by:
- a copy of the document confirming Polish citizenship
and
- a declaration of not obtaining compensation or redress pursuant to art. 8 sec. 2a of the Act of February 23, 1991 on declaring invalid judgments issued against repressed persons for activities for the sake of the independent existence of the Polish State.

Once a year on August 1st, people of Warsaw pay homage to the fallen heroes that fought for freedom in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. (The Battle for Warsaw).

While the city's residents battled their German occupiers for 63 days, a Polish army of former prisoners released from Soviet captivity was forced by their Soviet commanders to stand by powerlessly across the river. The biggest rebellion against German N**i occupation during WWII cost over 200,000 lives and destruction of the capital.

Wpłynęło do nas pismo!

Dzień dobry

W związku z zakończeniem prezentowania wystawy o Korpusie Ochrony Pogranicza w Skansenie Rzeki Pilicy (filii MCK) w Tomaszowie Maz., chciałbym bardzo podziękować oraz złożyć wyrazy szacunku twórcom i organizatorom Wirtualnego Muzeum "Kresy - Syberia" jak i tej niezwykłej wystawy.

Była ona prezentowana w Skansenie bez mała 8 miesięcy a obejrzało ją ok. 11.500 gości, w tym tysiące dzieci i młodzieży. Wystawa przybliżyła tysiącom Polaków (w tym w dużej mierze młodego pokolenia), wciąż mało znany rozdział naszej historii, jakim były dzieje KOP, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem bohaterskich walk tej formacji w pamiętnym Wrześniu 1939 r.

Zdjęcia i opisy przedstawione na planszach są dowodem na ogrom pracy badawczej wykonanej przez twórców wystawy, wystawiając im piękną kartę w ratowaniu, zapisywaniu i przybliżaniu mniej znanych kart naszej historii. Wystawa jest jednocześnie wspaniałym świadectwem patriotyzmu tysięcy Polaków, którzy swoje życie i zdrowie poświęcali służbie Ojczyźnie oraz stanowi piękny dowód, że pamięć o nich będzie trwała "póki my żyjemy".

Jeszcze raz bardzo serdecznie dziękuję.

Z wyrazami szacunku-

Zbigniew Cichawa

Dear Sir
Stefan Wiśniowski
Kresy-Siberia Foundation President

Dear President,

Please accept my cordial thanks for the invitation to the "Generations Remember" conference. At the same time, I would like to inform you that I will not be able to participate in it because I have made other commitments during this time.

I would like to thank you for all the initiatives taken by the Foundation to preserve the memory of the fate of the Sybiraks. Kresy - Siberia are two stops on the route of exiles marked with graves. For those who survived the exile, the road continued into the world, on all continents. It is a great credit to the Sybiraks that despite their scattering they remained an integrated environment, and what's more - they prepared their successors, thanks to which subsequent generations have joined into the activities cultivating the memory of Siberia.

In the modern world, virtual memory plays a large role in such activities, and your Foundation has read into the signs of the time very well.

I convey my warm greetings to the conference participants through you as President.

Yours sincerely,
Jan Józef Kasprzyk

Szanowny Pan
Stefan Wiśniowski
Prezes Fundacji Kresy-Syberia

Szanowny Panie Prezesie,

Proszę o przyjęcie serdecznych podziękowań za zaproszenie na konferencję „Pamięć Pokoleń". Jednocześnie informuję, że nie będę mógł w niej uczestniczyć, gdyż podjąłem w tym czasie inne zobowiązania.

Chciałbym przy okazji podziękować za wszelkie inicjatywy podjęte przez Fundację w celu utrwalenia pamięci o losach Sybiraków. Kresy - Syberia to dwa przystanki na znaczonej mogiłami trasie zesłańców. Dla tych, którzy przeżyli zsyłkę droga powiodła dalej w świat, na wszystkie kontynenty. Jest wielką zasługą Sybiraków, że pomimo rozproszenia pozostali zintegrowanym środowiskiem, co więcej - przygotowali następców, dzięki czemu kolejne pokolenia włączyły się w nurt działań kultywujących pamięć Sybiru.

We współczesnym świecie dużą rolę w takich działaniach odgrywa pamięć wirtualna, a Państwa Fundacja bardzo dobrze te znaki czasu odczytuje.

Na ręce Pana Prezesa przekazuję gorące pozdrowienia dla uczestników konferencji.

I am a stamp collector and I would like to ask if anyone has correspondence from survivors of the deportation from Kresy to the Soviet Union and later wartime evacuation to Iran, Pakistan, Palestine, India or British East Africa. I am primarily interested in covers (envelopes) franked with local stamps. These covers should be postmarked with dates ranging from 1942-1948 addressed to anywhere. If feasible, these covers could become an exhibit illustrating the history of their journey.
Sadly COVID-19 has touched my family with the unexpected passing of my beloved, and last Aunty Helena SWIERKOSZ (nee MISIURA), my Mother's last Sister.
Helena SWIERKOSZ (nee MISIURA), the daughter of Zachariasz MISIURA and Helena ZHADINETS (both dec.), was born on Friday 5 May 1933 in Rejmontowka (Kamien Koszyrski, Polesie), Poland; married on Wednesday 13 April 1955 in Wolverhampton, England to Jozef SWIERKOSZ (dec.) and deported on Saturday 10 February 1940 with her entire family from their farm at Osada Wojskowe (Military Settlement) Rejmontowka to Ujma Slave Labour Camp in the Pierwomajski Region, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia by Soviet NKVD; a SYBIRAK, passed away on Wednesday 18 November 2020 at Wolverhampton from COVID-19.
Will be fondly remembered by all of her family, kith and kin in the UK, Australia, Belarus, Poland, and the United States of America.
Я працював в архіві Тернополя і знайшов справи поляків з містечка Гримайлів (Grzymalow) коло Скалату, які були заарештовані НКВД в 1939/1940 і засуджені на Сибір. Можу надати ці прізвища і фото документів.

my father and his family were shipped to Siberia in the early 40's from Lemburg Poland. I'm trying to find information about the village that they were in. Dad thinks it was called Panicivo(?). They lived in a bit in the forest. Any information?
Wspomnień nigdy dość.
Dzielę się
Witam- może ktoś dysponuje zdjęciami, wspomnieniami, dokumentami na temat 14 baonu "Żbiki" walczącego pod Monte Cassino, Ankonę i Loreto albo pokaże źródło do informacji. Poszukuję danych na nazwisko Franciszek Lachcik (p.porucznik). Za informacje z góry dziękuję.
Stefan congratulations for having your hard work for the foundation recognised at the Polish Consulate Sydney this evening.
Have been sending articles about the deportation, exile, murder and suffering of our family for years and finally the media have printed. Let's see what happens now?
