History / Polish WWII Survivors Conference [2]

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".

Sunday's activities will begin with a Remembrance Mass and continue with a gathering of post-war families, during which the survivors will be honored and thanked for their sacrifice.

The conference is being organized by a group of descendants of Polish WWII survivors called the Polish Legacy Project-WWII.

Please contact me for details.

There is a sliding scale of registration fees. Survivors are welcomed free of charge.
