.. not just in the European Parliament, in Krakow, at the college, at school ..
beginning of September resulted in important events. We found out who specifically Polish MEPs wished to accept the invitation to share "Recall of Captain" ("Let's Reminisce About Witold Pilecki"). On 1 September this year, thanks to an Mrs Hanna Foltyn-Kubicka, the project on May 25 as the Day of Struggle Against Totalitarianism Heroes was on the agenda of the session European Parliament's plenary . In this situation, unless you have the hope of EU holidays on the calendar does not run out of space not only for the victims of totalitarianism, but also to the valiant defenders of our world. All those who fought in the twentieth century for our freedom and yours pay high, often the highest price.
early October a good time to the "Captain reminder" once again to encourage professors and students. Proceeding from this assumption in the first half of September cards with the image of Witold Pilecki, and an invitation to participate in the action I sent to the presidents and commanders of more than seventy colleges across the country. Earlier (ie in July and August) received a postcard bearing the name of the school principals ś.p.Rotmistrza.
Recalling the principal objectives of our initiative - 1) dissemination of the "Report Witold", 1945, 2) lobbying on superproduction tale fate "Volunteer to Auschwitz", 3) establish a May 25 public holidays in the European Union - Heroes Day Struggle Against Totalitarianism - have said that a member of the "recall of Captain" could be anyone. Just simply read - in Polish or English - "Report Witold" of 1945, and at least portions this document, and then encourage that at least one person. It should be noted that in the case of institutions (not just education) who wish to participate in our initiative, the declaration itself is sufficient authority and commitment to assist in the implementation of the first of the objectives of the action. "Report Witold" , like its author , remains unknown vast majority of his contemporaries. It seems that it is the environment universities have the potential to help change this shameful state of affairs. Encourage students to read the year of jubilee "Report Witold" is, after all the possibilities of Polish universities.
As mentioned, the cards with the slogan "Let us remember a Captain," I sent only to the more than 70 presidents and commanders of higher education. This does not mean that I did not follow the invitation to those who have cards with the captain did not receive. Objective reasons, the moment when I write these words, I personally was only able to send nearly 200 postcards. But I still have hope that the representatives of the institutions that have received the invitation in virtual form (the first few thousand e-mails sent in January and February this year), or orally, is also willing to accept them. I hope that the participants share and there are those who will pass the invitation not only to friends and individuals, but also the friendly institutional entities. Just as until now, available here is a list of the institutions - participants of the shares will be continuously updated.
I learned, at the end of September, the first edition of a postcard with an image of Captain was low. In three post offices - in Gorlice, Nowy Sacz and Zakopane - in which a card with the slogan "Let us remember about Captain" / "Let's Reminisce About Witold Pilecki" is available at retail, the remaining traces of copies. And here another good news: due to the considerable interest in the coming days will appear in the second edition of "reminiscent of Captain" postcards. Designed by p.Leszka Zakrzewski only slightly (from the color) is different from first.
price sheet does not changed. This amounts to 30 cents apiece. Contracts with the annotation "Captain W. Pilecki, can be made at: Wieslaw Mochnacki, PO Box 131, PL-33-300 Nowy Sacz first
Incidentally text July 13, it falls to record the answer to a question I received at the local government of my city. Expressing hope that the Krakow City Council wishes to accept the invitation and officially join the campaign "Let us remember a Captain", I present a letter that I received from p.Bogusława Kośmider, Vice-President of the Council:
I trust that the representatives of local authorities of your town, would like to share with the invitation to take advantage. I believe that because of the aid which the MEPs asked the PiS and the PO, will see the response from the Office of the President and the Prime Minister's Office. The issues raised by me in correspondence with the winter and spring of this year (details can be read in previous texts) are still open.
the end of the jubilee year left more than 90 days. Contrary to appearances, is a long time. Those who, like the undersigned feel personal largest debtors of the Forgotten Heroes once again encourage you: Let's do our best to form and certificate of Witold Pilecki became a little less unknown. Let's do our utmost to modern Poles, Europeans, people of the global village have become a little closer.
Recall of Captain! Friends and relatives. Europe and the world.
