Congratulations to the Author on the award of the Centennial Medal of Recovered independency by the president of Poland 23.10.2019, and we remind you of the poignant fragment of the "Jączka", published in 2013 [about the author's another books - in many related articles].

fragm. Covers of the book P. Dakowicz Connector du. Arcan


The remains embedded in the ground, intertwined into an incorruptible, bloody knot — skulls, bones of hands and legs, ribs and phalanges, or what is left of them. Bottoms shallow and tight. In 1 photograph, the skeleton of the murdered individual lies just below the surface of the earth, and what is left of his hand is based on the corner of the pit, as if the deceased wanted to rise, as if he wanted to free himself from prison, to come out of hiding. This is the first, deepest, hidden layer of the Poązkowski "Łączka", its semantic foundation.

In the 1950s, a thick layer of earth and rubble was brought to the “Join”. In this way, it seemed irreversibly that the past was buried, and that uncomfortable past was crushed. This was the second layer — earth and rubble. Masking layer. A 3rd layer — material as much as a symbolic 1 — has grown on it: a cemetery dump. Thus the measurement of humiliation was fulfilled, and the death of the hidden 1 gained the dimension of the evangelical sacrifice, after all, the seed must enter the earth and die before it yields.

Excavating and recognition works carried out in the area of “Łączko” in fresh years are the beginning of a long process of memory recovery by the Polish community. Restoring identity to nameless remains besides means removing masks from the face of those who for decades claimed to be patriots and “saviours of the homeland”, is tantamount to looking at the real, unmistakable face of communism in Poland.

Will we be able to meet this challenge that our own past is facing? Can we complete the process of reconstructing our broken identity? What can we do too large words and symbolic gestures?

Whatever it may be, let us remember that our eyes are stuck in the “Join”.

Because “Łączka” is Poland. due to the fact that Poland is “Łączka”.
