Please welcome another Aussie to the group. Have you all had a chance to
see the Australian Immigration Department's website book about one group of
Sybiracy refugees that came here?



Regards,
Stefan

their parents were sent to Siberia during the Second World War. We have a
very strong Polish Community here in Perth with a strong Siberian Group
called Kolo Sybiraków. My Aunt is a keen member and has fuelled my
interest. I am looking forward to receiving and sharing information about
our people in Poland, Siberia and later. Regards BJ

Hello Barbara,

I was interested in what you wrote and hope read more of your letters. Reading
the website which Stefan linked above, I learned that some of the refugees from
camps in Africa were resettled in Australia. I wasn't aware of that. I did know
that some of them went to England because my mother-in-law and her family
(Bortkiewicz) did so. I don't know the name of their camp in Africa but I
know it was near Mt. Ngorongoro in Kenya I think.

As to those who went to Australia, I'd like to mention that some later also
settled there from Lebanon after the Polish refugee community in that
country was dispersed by further resettlement in 1950. While my family were
shipped to a camp in England, some others did choose to go to Australia.
Among these was my little childhood friend from Beirut, Tereska Perlowska.
I met her again one last time in the 60's in New York when she was in the
course of a round-the-world trip which I understand is somewhat of a tradition
among young Australians. Perhaps you may have heard of her in your community.

Welcome,
Ted Morawski

Thanks Stefan.
BJ
