Today is six years since death. Albina Siwaka. Hated in the same way by the Postkorów Solidarności environment and liberals in the PZPR. Just as during his life, the media in Poland, from the right to the left, kept silent. I knew him, respected him, and liked him.
Albin Siwak – Polish worker, patriot, bricklayer, socialist, unionist, writer. associate of the KC PZPR Politburo from 1981 to 1986, councillor of the PRL embassy in Tripoli from 1986 to 1990. Patriot called – concrete, Sovietist, anti-Semite, judaic eater, Bolshevik, communist. He was a good patriot and a good man.
Born 1933. In 1950 he left for Warsaw in search of work. He was directed to the masonry brigade on MDM. He rapidly became the leader of the work and was promoted as a foreman at the “Warsaw-East” Urban Construction Complex Installation Works Plant. It belonged to General Organization of “Service of Poland”. In her ranks he worked on the construction of fresh Huta. He was repeatedly distinguished by advanced state distinctions besides after the completion of another major buildings in which he participated. From 1980 to 1982, he was Vice-President of the Board of the Main Board of the Independent Construction Professional Union, Construction manufacture and Housing Cooperatives. In 1979, the Trade Union legislature elected him as a associate of the planet Trade Union Federation. Since 1986, he has served as counsel for the PRL embassy in Tripoli. In 1987, he was elected president of the committee for the permanent commemoration of Poles who died in planet War II in defence of Tobruk and surrounding places. On October 6, 1980, he became a deputy associate of the Central Committee of the PZPR. He was a associate of the Central Committee of PZPR July 1981 to January 1990 (until the organization is dissolved). associate of the PZPR Political Office from 1981 to 1986. In those years, he simultaneously served as president of the Complaints and Intervention Committee in the NSC of the PZPR. He was a associate of SLD. He was removed from the organization after his conflict with Leszek Miller (the Leszek Miller, whom he respected despite the conflict). He's tied up with National organization ‘Home’. He was a associate of Stow. NOT for the EU Jan Kepinski and the Mieczysław Janosz War Victims Association.
In 2002, he released ‘Still Tracks’ in a certain Torun oficin. The book, unlike another memories of politicians of the period of People's Poland, was completely silenced. And even more due to the fact that it was almost forbidden, its circulation was bought by those who, for various reasons, were not in hand. At the time, I only met Albin Siwak. Although they introduced him to me earlier. He came to a gathering of the “No for EU” Association in Katowice. I picked him up from the train station. He then told me showing the building on Młyńska Street that the State of Israel was established there in the 19th century, and there was a Masonic lodge. I thought, what is this guy talking about? It's completely unbelievable. A fewer years later, a plaque appeared on the building indicating that from 6-11 November 1884, a gathering of Zion's Lovers' Movement of Coven Zion Zion was held. At this convention called the Katowice Conference, decisions were made on the desire to build Israel in Palestine, as well as on the financial support of settlers. The reunion in Katowice ended with the appointment of Zionist authorities of the organization, which was headed by Rabbi Mohylever as honorary chairman. Pinsker took the chair of the president and Lilenblum took the secretary's seat. It was established that Berlin and Odessa would be the office of the Zion Lovers Movement. This building later housed the B’nea B’rith lodge, which in Katowice took the name Concordia.
We were damn curious what the erstwhile associate of the KC PZPR would say. How he will defend the state he built. amazed – his very long speech was a extremist criticism of the activities of the PZPR and the SLD. He went hard adequate about Aleksandr Kwasniewskithat the individual who rented us a school area in the centre of Katowice asked us to go to the corridor and begged us to “this man will relax a bit.” However, Albin Siwak had no intention of letting go. He was like a speeding train (“locomotiveally lead us into battle!”). After his speech, the people stood up and applauded him for a long time. And among the gathered were both prisoners of the period of bermanowszczyzna (used anti-Polish terms to Bermana) and activists of the first Solidarity. After the authoritative part of the meeting, we went to the self-defense activist Andrzej Lepper's home Tadeusz Mazanek to proceed to debate. There in a looser atmosphere, Albin Siwak told the then head of “Solidarity 80” Eugeniusz Linkowski that if the mountain of the opposition then thought in Polish like you, the dialog would look different and the destiny of Poland would be different. That we would preserve property and sovereignty. Linkowski answered Siwak – if the Polish People's Republic ruled by specified as the Lord, the opposition would be unnecessary. Then he suggested we call each another by name.
Siwak wrote a lot. Book after book. He highlighted these threads, which by another organization activists were minimized or overlooked. In my opinion, at the end of his life he wrote besides much, not all the information he verified, and any subjects he emphasized besides much. He always sent me his books with dedications. He even addressed me as “a companion” in “A torn life.” In his case, protesting that “I am not a companion” made no sense. In the following years, we met respective more times. Among another things, at the ceremony col. He called before all Christmas. He besides sent cards. He valued the colonel very highly. Tadeusz Kowalczyk (Stow. Inheritors of Polish Combatants of planet War II), presenting him as a model of the Polish patriot.
"This book is simply a evidence to human destiny during planet War II and about how young People's Poland took possession of old Piast lands again. Political mistakes, human stupidity, love beyond national divisions. It's about banditism alternatively of honest work. It is simply a evidence about Warmia and Mazury and about people who have lived there for centuries, and about those who went there to live on their own ...” I have many specified entries.
