Centre of Deported Polish Citizens, showing the WWII-era

Senator Dorota Arciszewska- Mielewczyk suggests Poland should build a Centre of Deported Polish Citizens, showing the WWII-era martyrology of Poles from the East and West. 'Otherwise the world will only know the story about poor Germans', she says.

'This is not a response to the Centre Against Deportations, I came up with this idea three years ago,' Ms Arciszewska- Mielewczyk, a Law and Justice (PiS) senator, tells Gazeta.

'Such a museum is something Poland should have long had! After all, as a result of the war started by the Germans, millions of Poles were murdered, forcefully evicted from their homes, sent to camps or to slave labour in the Reich. Then further millions were sent to lagers, murdered and resettled from the eastern borderlands to the "Regained Territories" by Stalin. It's seventy years after the start of the war and we still haven't been able to build a museum that would present the great martyrology of the Polish people. We owe this to our ancestors.'

Who does he think is going to finance another yet museum when one can't even raise finance to publish books about this subject in Poland let alone anywhere else?

Did you see this one.

BTW. I am presently looking for additional finance for a documentary about life of Capt. Witold Pilecki—budget is minimum £300,000 to produce a one hour programme :-)

Have you thought of asking "The History Channel"?

Have you ever seen "A Forgotten Odyssey" by Jagna Wright?

a documentary about life of Capt. Witold Pilecki

here is a TV/theatre about his trial.

from Pilcecki's giving himself up to be imprisoned in Auschwitz

and most Americans don't like sub-titles.

I hope it gets some exposure in the west and also stirs a debate
