Re: "Rescued from Death in Siberia"
The film is owned by the producer Michael Adamski who has produced and shot numerous films in Poland and Canada, concentrating on historical and travel themes.
He has sold copies of " Rescued from Death in Siberia" to the Toronto Public Library and to the Montreal Polish Library at McGill University in Montreal. We have hopes it will be shown be on a local TV program 'Polish Studio'.
Toronto Councilor Chris Korwin-Kuczynski, Professor Wrobel of the University of Toronto and the president of the Polish-Canadian Congress have confirmed they will attend the premiere at Zwiazkowiec Oct. 13, 1650 Bloor St.W, Toronto, 2 p.m.

Re: "Rescued from Death in Siberia" film
Chris, I would be interested in information about distribution of the film. Who produced this film? thanks, Don Dudley I proudly announce the premiere of the documentary film "Rescued from Death in Siberia" at 2.p.m, Saturday, Oct.13, at Zwiazkowiec at 1650 Bloor St.W, Toronto.
I invite all those who are in the area to attend.
I had the pleasure of conducting the interviews with survivors of the deportations from Poland to Siberia and elsewhere in the USSR. The documentary is in English and focuses on those who settled in the Toronto area.
I have only seen snippets of the film and I also don't know who will be attending. I will pass on details re availablity and distribution of the film to anyone who is interested.
I don't know if our film will make it to the BBC, CBC, or PBS, but screenings of it and "A Forgotten Odyssey" and other films are reaching a wider audience.
I second the idea of "Siberian" screenings.

Welcome to Jan Birkner. Family from Kresy (pre-WW1 Galicia), deported to both Siberia and Kazakhstan (in 1940-41, I presume).
Jan, to get a quick primer on this (more like "drinking from a fire hose") please visit our associated site www.AForgottenOdyssey.com and check out the links page. The history of the 1.7 million Poles deported to Russia and the Soviet Union for forced labour and death is a shocking and little-recognised one. That's why our motto is "research, remembrance, recognition".
Again, welcome! ----------

Dear Stefan,
Someone on either the Russian or one of the Polish lists suggested that I join this group, since my grandmother's family was sent to Siberia. Strangely enough, my grandfather's family was also sent to the camps, but they went to Kazakhstan! What a bunch!! No wonder NOBODY in the world knows anything about either of them!
I have been doing genealogy for about 19 years, researching in Poland, Ukraine, Prussia , and Denmark, as well as MA and NJ in the US. My heritage is Polish back to about the 1700s, when a small group of Germans came to Poland to settle. One of them became a Roman Catholic and married a Polish girl. All of the rest of my family are from Poland, as far back as I can find, anyway. Some were in Eastern Galicia, which is now western Ukraine, so I have been looking there as well. My husband's ancestors are mostly Danish, except for his maternal grandmother, who was born out of wedlock in East Prussia. She was given her mother's name, Ewert, and later, her father and mother married, and had a son.
One of my living cousins was sent to Siberia as a child. She, her parents and her 2 younger sisters. Her sisters both died, but she and her parents survived, and came to the US in the 50's some time. I remember her arrival, but not the year. Of course, at the time, I didn't know the significance of the phrase, Displaced Person! I spoke with her about 3 years ago, about her experiences. She said she was only a child then, and children don't really realize what is going on around them. She had no clear memories of the camps. Except that when they were released, they were afraid to go back to their home, and afraid to go deeper into Poland, so they WALKED to Iran. From there, they ended up in England, and somehow contacted my dad, who worked for Gdynia America line at the time, and he arranged for their their emigration to the US.

We had a lot of land in around Czortkow/Biala and quite a extensive property portfolio in Kopyczynce, all that went up in "smoke" when the Soviets arrived they "gave my ggran a house of sorts, it can be seen on Paul At 04:01 10/04/2001 +1000, you wrote: Thanks to Ewa, I have referenced again the recent article on compensation for Kresy residents who lost their property (not to mention years of - if not all of - their lives) to the Soviets as a result of the War.
I should note that "citizens" would include all those deported or displaced during the war who never returned to Poland.
I would welcome your feedback on this, especially from Janusz Giedrojc and others dealing with compensation issue. I wonder if it is not "too late" to register a claim, especially as this seems to be heading into a class-action of some kind.
Would anybody know how to get in touch with Andrzej Korzeniowski, president of the Polish Society of the Kresy Residents-State Treasury Creditors (Ogólnopolskie Stowarzyszenie Kresowian Wierzycieli Skarbu Panstwa)?

KEEPING PROMISES
The Legacy of Relocation
Paradoxically, Poland moved westward immediately following World War II, when from a geopolitical point of view Poland entered the sphere of influence of its former eastern neighbor, the Soviet Union.
By virtue of a decision made by the time's great national powers, confirmed by pacts in Yalta and Potsdam, the borders of the Polish state were radically changed. Postwar Poland lost its eastern territories, which were incorporated into the Soviet republics of Belarus, Lithuania and Ukraine. In turn, the country gained land which until 1939 had belonged to Germany. The decision made by the "big four" resulted not only in changes of state borders, but also in a huge wave of migration, changing the ethnic make-up and national status in the Kresy, as Poland's former eastern territories are called.
The repercussions of those migrations continue to this day. There are many unsettled matters stemming from those times, including the question of indemnities for Polish citizens whose property remained beyond the eastern border.
The communist government of postwar Poland, initially formed on the territory of the Soviet Union, aimed to make Poland an ethnically uniform country. The same was true of the objectives of Soviet governments, which sought to rid themselves of the Polish element in Belarus, Lithuania and Ukraine. In order to achieve these ends, in 1944 both parties began organizing great population shifts.
During these dislocations, Belarussians and Ukrainians were shipped East within the areas defined by the decisions from Yalta. The East, in turn, saw the displacement of Polish citizens who had lived in the territories which were incorporated into the Soviet state.
The agreements with Ukraine and Belarus stated that between Sept. 15 and Oct. 15, 1944, there would be a registration of people willing to resettle, and the process of resettlement would take place between Oct. 15, 1944, and Feb. 1, 1945. The agreement with Lithuania assumed slightly different dates: the registration would be carried out between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 1944, and the relocation was supposed to start Dec. 1, 1944 and continue through April 1, 1945.
The authorities of the Soviet republics were responsible for the transportation of people, while the costs of transportation were to be divided between the Soviet Union and Poland. The agreements also stated that for Polish citizens dislocated from the Kresy, the indemnity for property left in the East, called zabuz?an?skie (located beyond the Bug River) property, would be paid by the Polish State Treasury .
Thus the communist government of Poland relieved the authorities of the Soviet Union from the duty to pay any indemnity to Polish citizens. This was confirmed in protocols supplementing the agreements of 1944, signed in 1947 on behalf of the government of the Republic of Poland. According to the contents of the agreements, this was not supposed to be indemnity as such, but an equivalent payment for property left in the East. This is important, since the word "equivalent" as interpreted by dislocated populations meant the exact equivalent of real estate left behind the eastern border of postwar Poland.
The resettlement action from the East took much longer than had been stated in the agreements, and involved 1.7 million Polish citizens. These people were mainly resettled in the western territories of Poland according to its postwar borders. As the "equivalent" that the Polish-Soviet agreements had promised, the people dislocated from the East received former German households in western Poland and urban real estate belonging to the State Treasury.
Theoretically, the households and real estate distributed among the newcomers was supposed to be comparable in size to the properties left behind the eastern border. In practice, however, this was difficult or even impossible to implement, especially since the agriculture policy of the communist government stood in the way. The government tried various ways to establish collective farming in the Polish countryside instead of private farming. The distribution of big farms among individual farmers thus contradicted the agriculture policy of the communist authorities.
Similar constraints awaited resettled city dwellers, who received urban real estate, but only smaller than 220 sq m, a step down for all those who had left large farms and more valuable real estate beyond the Bug River.
The distribution of equivalent property and compensation was coupled with a whole range of executive regulations, hindering the State Treasury's fulfillment of its liabilities to displaced individuals. It's enough to say that indemnity procedures did not concern the simple allocation of specified sums, real estate or land, but incorporated the value of the zabuz?an?skie property, as estimated in the insurance valuation, into the fee for purchasing buildings and land from the State Treasury, as specified by the authorities.
In practice, displaced citizens became State Treasury suppliants, and it depended on the decision of bureaucrats whether the value of the zabuz?an?skie property was included in the fee for real estate given as compensation for property lost behind the eastern border. Due to bureaucratic obstacles, unclear interpretations of executive acts and the difficulties in obtaining confirmation from Soviet authorities concerning lost property, the question of indemnities for zabuz?an?skie property was never finalized by the authorities of communist Poland. Even now, a large group of citizens has not received any compensation.
The changes brought about in Poland by the events of 1989 revived hopes of solving the lingering problem among displaced people and their descendants. According to estimates by both the government and organizations associating zabuz?an?skie creditors of the Polish State Treasury, there are still around 90,000 petitions for equivalents of property left in the East waiting to be analyzed and processed.
"This is more or less the number of petitioners who have not yet been given the chance to satisfy their claims," said Andrzej Korzeniowski, president of the Polish Society of the Kresy Residents-State Treasury Creditors.
The State Treasury creditors had hoped that the reprivatization law would solve their problems. The law, however, is a dead issue, leaving the question of indemnity for property left in the East a matter regulated by the previous legislation, which stems from the agreements made in 1944 and 1947.
This state of affairs by no means satisfies those dislocated from the East. When vetoing the poorly constructed reprivatization bill, President Aleksander Kwas?niewski advised residents of the Kresy to seek justice in court by bringing an class-action suit against the State Treasury. Displaced people and their descendants say they will follow this advice.
"Since the continuity of Polish statehood is valid, and communist Poland was an element of the continuity, it is the duty of today's Third Republic of Poland to fulfill [communist Poland's] liabilities," said Korzeniowski.

Are you aware that Polish citizens who live in
Poland do get compensation for having had been deported to the Soviet Union
during WW2? It is paid by the Polish government.
I believe that the amount paid is quite
reasonable.
By the way,
are you also aware that the name 'Sybiraki" refers to all those who had been
deported to the S.U.? I think that the name goes right back to when
Russians and then Soviets started deporting Poles to Russia/Soviet Union
since 1863, the time of the Polish uprising against Russia when the main

It gives me great pleasure and honour to welcome Jagna Wright to the list. As you may already know, together with Aneta Naszynska, Jagna produced a very moving TV documentary in English called "A Forgotten Odyssey".

toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
"A Forgotten Odyssey" is the story - as told by the survivors - of what happened after the Soviet invasion of Poland on 17 September 1939 under the Nazi-Soviet Friendship Treaty.
These are the stories of the survivors of the forced Soviet annexation of eastern Poland, when entire towns and communities were brutally deported to Siberia and Kazakhstan to Soviet forced labour camps. By the time the Nazis attacked their Soviet allies in 1941, perhaps half of the labour camp inmates had died from disease, starvation, and the harsh labour conditions.
Because the Soviets were brought into the anti-Nazi Alliance, the remaining survivors were given an amnesty and many made their way across the vast and foreboding Soviet landscape to join the freed Polish Army being formed in the south. This army became a key element of the Allied forces in the European South-East, and was evacuated though Iran to join the battle with the Nazis in Africa and Italy.
However, despite the defeat of the Nazis, Poland's Soviet enemies ended the war on the side of the victors. The 110,000 citizens and soldiers who had escaped from Soviet Russia went on to be refugees from a pre-war Poland who could never return home to their former homeland, which was left in Soviet Communist hands after the war.
Their Forgotten Odyssey never reached its destination, and they remained a people in exile throughout the world.

Here are my reasons for joining the
group.
My father now deceased, Jozef Nessel originated from Lwow
and was involved in the September Uprising of 1939.? He was later
imprisoned in the Siberian prison camp system (no idea where) until 1942
when he joined with General Anders and made his way to Palestine and the
8th Army.? He later arrived in the UK in 1943 and transferred to the
Parachute Brigade in Scotland.? After the War he never returned home,
but settled in Scotland where he married and lived a full life.
I
have been carrying out family history research for some 12 months now in an
attempt to learn more and to trace any remaining family in Poland.? As
a result of this research I made contact with the Polish Records Section
of the Home Office in London seeking information.? Among other things
I was told that in Poland my father was married to an Ewa Chudziak and that
they had a son Stanislaw who was born in 1940.? This has been a shock
for us all including my own mother so I have been concentrating a great
deal of time in developing this part of my research to confirm their
existence and to establish if they are still alive or not.? To date I
have had no positive results which suggest they are still alive.? For
me it's important that I locate records or information about Siberia and
the camps in the hope of establishing the truth.? Hopefully this site
will assist me in my quest for the truth.

My mother's father was born in Grodno province in 1889. He was a Laskowski, and closely related were the Oszmain, Rudol, and Zudziejo (Zadziejo) families. They lived in the Rohotna, Zdzieciol, Dworzec, and Slonim area.
After he emigrated to Kansas City, Kansas, via Galveston in 1910, contact with the family in eastern Poland stopped. We do not know the fate of the family there.
I certainly appreciate your efforts to develop and to support this group.

Dear Steve and Paul and other group members;
Apologies to others burdened by this email.
I suggest that you please consider using direct email rather than
the group list for posting messages of a purely technical nature that
are unlikely to be of interest to all. I have found other information
here interesting but I don't know or really care if you generate metas
metabolically or by metaphoresis. Let's keep the site clean and
concise - otherwise people will unsubscribe.

site.
The meta tags are a good idea.? I have relied on Stefan for
content and
I've just crunched out the HTML.
If you have ideas on some meta tags/keywords I could incorporate
into
the site that would be great.
Also what's the URL of your site for the links page
