I agree with you. I do not want anyone to take anything away from this group. I want to add to this group, but certain issues will only cause a strain and take away from the focus of what this group is about. These issues should be discussed as separate issues either by direct e-mail between members or on a separate site. At this point I am studying these different options. Thank you for your view points.

Subject: RE: [Kresy-Siberia] GENERAL NOTICE TO GROUP MEMBERS Hi Julek, I understand where you're coming from and think that you are perhaps correct. Another group or site dedicated to this exercise may be more productive in certain matters. However, I see no reason why this group could not act occasionally to make representations, ask questions, press and lobby politicians and others, in order to 'help' to bring issues into the public domain. This could be done by members as individuals, and also by the moderator for example, on behalf of the group as a whole and at the request of members. Unfortunately, my knowledge of this period of history and the crucial episodes/facts to which you refer, is practically zero. As such, I feel I would not have much to offer to the type of group you are contemplating, but I wish you well if you should decide to persue this. Perhaps other members will share your idea and support you seperately from this groups work. I'm not sure, but the recent message from Halina, with regard to the IPN and it's request for information, may provide the type of platform that you are looking for. Regards, Ken. -----Original Message----- From: Julian S. Plowy [mailto:julian_plowy@...] Sent: 15 January 2004 07:03 To: Kresy-Siberia@... Subject: RE: [Kresy-Siberia] GENERAL NOTICE TO GROUP MEMBERS Ken, Many historical facts were or are in error or are hidden or forgotten, AS with many historical facts I don't think anything is being done to change things. It seems that nothing is ever done to correct much of the Polish mis-information. "Others" form a strong group which speaks up and keeps pushing until things like this are brought to a conclusion and are corrected. Ken as you know, Once "facts" are incorrectly stated or written it is almost impossible to change history. So, I suggest that some of us start a site that might address some of the more important issues that we would like to correct and see what we can do to help in these matters. Or that we take up certain matters off line as coordinated e-mails to each other. * KRESY-SIBERIA GROUP = RESEARCH REMEMBRANCE RECOGNITION "Dedicated to researching, remembering and recognising the Polish citizens deported, enslaved and killed by the Soviet Union during World War Two." * Discussion site : Gallery (photos, documents) : Film and info : * To SUBSCRIBE to the discussion group, send an e-mail saying who you are and describing your interest in the group to: Kresy-Siberia-owner@... * Yahoo!
