RECOGNITION
AT LAST ! —
50 years after the war, I lived to see the liberation of
Poland and the collapse of Communist Russia's occupation of Eastern Europe.
Poland, now independent, could show to the veterans of the Polish
Army in the West the appreciation for their contribution to Polish Cause
during the World War 2. Unfortunately,
it came too late, especially for my children who grew up without contact
with their roots and without educational help in their mother language
and heritage, like other migrant children in Australia have been receiving
from their free mother countries.
The black truth about the Communist evil history that affected millions of people, has been kept hidden in the West during the lifetime of my children and the young generation. Russia does not intend to apologize and pay compensation like Germany did. And instead of the truth being revealed, it is revised, modified, falsified or simply erased.
