A conference entitled:
"Untold Stories Come Alive: Poland To Buffalo Through WWII"
will be held Oct. 3 and 4 in Buffalo, N.Y. (U.S.A.).
The conference is designed around the stories of Polish WWII survivors who settled in North America. A panel of survivors representing the Warsaw Uprising, Siberian deportations, German forced labor, D-Day and other experiences will be featured. Irene Tomaszewski a Montreal writer, and a child refugee in East Africa during the war, will talk about "The Childrens Odyssey".
