date: November 18, 2025 Editor: Anna
But above all, with our words, changed cunningly by the swindlers, Unity to reconstruct and Trueness – in Julian Tuwim's words Tomasz Kuba Kozłowski summarized the presentation "Gehenna of transports on the 80th anniversary of the expulsion of Poles from the east lands of the Second Republic" during the 4th End Of the Community and Memory Association. It is the anniversary of an event that affected not tens, but hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Republic and was 1 of the key in our past of the full 20th century. However, it did not inspire any interest of celebrities, or alleged moral authorities, or persons who had functions for this purpose.
The story and lie of the “repatriation” created by the Moscow-based power of the People's Poland have not been denied to this day. The deliberately distorted image of the east lands of the Second Republic in the movie Sami his own at a time erstwhile the Treaty of Yalta after planet War II and the Polish intelligence exterminated by Russia were not allowed to talk about the taken lands of the Polish Republic, until present he did not receive a universal correction.
Professor Artur Hutnikiewicz wrote in 1979: by 1918, there were only 2 centres where technological staff could be educated at university requirements level: Kraków and Lviv, as well as 2 technological institutions based their existence and their activities mainly on private broadcasting, the Cracow Academy and the Lviv "Ossolineum". The 3rd centre, revealing clear activity and crucial in science, Warsaw, had a group of scholars who were sometimes well-deserved, but who were learning under the most hard conditions, almost hoarding; without support in duly equipped and organized technological workshops.
When universities in Warsaw, Vilnius, Poznań and Lublin began to be reborn or formed for the first time, it turned out immediately that without the aid of these "galileuszes" from Krakow and Lviv, they could not manage. How the situation in the individual episode was desperate, possibly 1 example of this idea. Old Józef Kallenbach served successively or simultaneously universities in Lviv, Warsaw, Poznań, Vilnius and Krakow in the last decade of his life (d.1929), i.e. all state universities.
This was all due to a generation that peaked at its maturity and productivity in the interwar years.
Some of this generation have one more time joined the reconstruction work after planet War II... This is the generation of our masters. We could so say, "We are all of them." Without their work, effort, dedication, enthusiasm, without the foundations they laid, it would be unthinkable to rebuild the survey of literature after 1945. Therefore, on this large for us Poles, the anniversary of 60 years of independency should be due to our unforgettable Teachers the deepest bow and most grateful memory. (Artur Hutnikiewicz Poland literary historiography during the Second independency period)
In modern Germany there are about 600 government institutions, from modest memorial chambers dedicated to 1 town, to land museums and national museums dealing with the lost German cultural heritage in east Europe. Six large national museums co-financed by the government of Germany - Tomasz Kuba Kozłowski recalled the work of Dr Magdalena Sach from the University of Gdańsk.
And what cognition did Polish institutions gather under subsequent teams about Polish heritage left to the east? We don't have any End Museum. Is the Centre against the Expulsion of Poles operating in Poland, which, like German, would teach Europe the past of the expulsion of Poles from the lost lands of east Poland? Especially since another is the past of the resettlement of Germans after planet War II from areas that were destroyed by war (such as Warsaw) were described as propagandaally as eldorado for Poles, expatted from the lands of east Poland (in the process of this replacement we lost 78,000 square kilometers of space).
The Germans were displaced in order organized by the German authorities, while the expatriation of Polish citizens from their homeland was a drama ending in death, erstwhile the journey in the car without a roof during the cold winter of 1945/1946 lasted 21 days. During this time, 350 000 people were resettled.
Propaganda photographs of smiling and well-maintained Poles against the background of carriages carrying them along with their property were deposed by American photographer John Vachon, who came to Poland in 1946 and, on behalf of the American government, documented the aid granted to Poland after planet War II.
Each household could take 2 tons of property, which was a fiction on paper, due to the fact that 34 – 50 people were injected into the wagon. The journey took place frequently standing, in discovered freight wagons or coals, sometimes with holes in the floor, sometimes without side walls. The journey in the carriage with furniture and livestock was preceded by a two-week wait in cold and rain for transport by the tracks. A robbery of property was to be counted during loading, and “special charges” for loading were besides required. Travel in coals and lores in dramatic sanitary conditions, the request to pay for travel by blackmailers holding trains, revisions erstwhile crossing the border between the USSR and Poland, transshipment from wagons at the change of tracks, stopping transports in Poland – all this with trauma fleeing from the ax of Ukrainian neighbors, unwillingness to abandon the household home and escape from forcing russian citizenship.
“We had to leave Lviv to preserve Polish citizenship... I felt sorry for my books, dolls... there was only 1 trunk of my parents' all. 8 families were loaded into a cattle wagon and so we drove 3 weeks towards Wrocław. During transport, individual died sometimes, like Mr. Klimczowicz, who left six tenement houses in Lviv. (Danuta Farinian) .

May this lecture strengthen us in the fact and memory of those who let us to live in free Poland present - the words of welcome to the participants of the Conspiracy of the Constituency, the priest of the parish of St Stanislaw Kostka and the presentation of Tomasz Kuba Kozłowski, let us address those whom we choose to care for our identity and our national heritage.
Oh, my God.
