On July 11, 1943, the Volhynian Bloody Sunday occurred in western Ukraine during World War II. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) carried out coordinated attacks on Polish villages, resulting in the deaths of 40,000 to 60,000 ethnic Poles. This tragic event highlights deep-rooted ethnic tensions and the need for dialogue, empathy, and tolerance. Let us remember the victims and work towards a world free from hatred and violence.

Dear Friend of the PMA – Like many cultural nonprofits, the Polish Museum of America is facing serious challenges in these unprecedented times. Thus far, operations have been funded by various grants and donations. As the PMA nears the end of this funding, we turn to those who have so generously supported the PMA’s mission for 86 years. The PMA looks to Polish Americans in Chicago and across the US, as well as anyone with an interest in Polish and Polonian culture and heritage, to protect our shared stories and treasures for future generations. We are asking you to contribute to our biggest general operations fundraiser of the year – the 2021 PMA Gala, scheduled as a virtual event to be held on Friday, October 8, 2021. Frank Spula – president of the Polish National Alliance and Polish American Congress – and the Pilsudski Institute of America will be honored with the Polish Spirit Award, in the individual and organization categories, respectively.

The Polish Museum of America was established in 1935 as the “Museum and Archives of the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America.” The first public display area opened on January 12, 1937 in a specially designed and constructed room within the headquarters building of the PRCUA. From that date the Museum’s collection and importance grew very rapidly and quickly gained autonomous status as “The Polish Museum of America” with its own governing board of directors.
