the eve of the 65th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising I am pleased to inform you about new evidence that closer to the realization objectives of our initiative, launched in January 2008, the initiative.
In the second half of this year the Presidency of the European Union has Sweden. Therefore, on July 9 written a special letter which was addressed to Fredrik Reinfeldt, Prime Minister of the Government of His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf. In a letter (to which the enclosed postcard supporting our campaign) informed of the essential facts of the biography rtm.Witolda Pilecki, abandoned its heritage significance for contemporary Europe, as well as for our social action. I also mentioned that in March this year, our demands received a warm reception from Czech President Vaclav Klaus. Wishing the Prime Minister Reinfeldt success in the European Union presidency, I asked about support for the establishment of May 25 the European Day of the Heroes Fight Against Totalitarianism. As it turned out, the response of Stockholm does not have to wait long:
(Content: Tyrpa Sir, thank you for your letter to Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, who refers to issues with the Swedish Presidency. I hereby confirm that your letter was delivered. We are grateful for information about the project, "Recall of Captain" ["Let's Reminisce About Witold Pilecki"], and we hope you find it useful. Sincerely, Joanna Ljunggren, Department of Correspondence of the Office of the Prime Minister)
still coming to me letters from foreigners, which posted on the Internet over a year ago the English translation "Report Witold" makes a great impression. As already I informed , the story of Heroes Polish Auschwitz inspired by Tom Latter, of the UK Raw Television to shoot a documentary film about Captain Pilecki, who - pay attention! - Is to be heard in the American National Geographic channel. I note with satisfaction the cooperation that has established Dr. Tom Stefan Pągowskim the Canadian "Konstanty Piekarski Memorial Foundation , one of the institutional share of participants' recall of Captain." Dr Kindness Pągowski, extremely valuable bibliographies and contacts with Polish-American institutions, will allow Tom Latterowi create exciting, and most importantly - consistent with the historical truth - a document of Heroes, who in the consciousness Westerners have not yet exist.
also pleased to note the intensification of cooperation with representatives of government agencies. Its expression is the promise of aid, among others. to promote a website www.witoldsreport.blogspot.com I received from Michael Sikorski, the First Secretary of Consular Embassy in Washington .
July 3 I took the invitation to visit Warsaw Office of the Ombudsman . During our conversation, Dr. Janusz Kochanowski got familiar with recent developments, including, among others. accession to share our new MEPs - Prof. Jerzy Buzek and Dr. Mark Migalskiego . For its part, the Ombudsman made far-reaching statements in our support, "recalling the Captain." We also talked about the continuation of work begun in the arena of the European Parliament by Hanna Foltyn-Kubicka and resolution of a political group Union for Europe of the Nations of 18 February
also wondered on the causes of technical error, resulting in a number of Polish MEPs voted against the establishment in May Heroes of European holidays, and the causes for which combats the Institute of National Remembrance Our social action, despite the exchange of correspondence, several meetings with the president of IPN and complex long ago by dr. John Żaryna (with the knowledge and consent of the PhD. Janusz Kurtyka), the official declaration of support for our action. The Lord Advocate also helped me to understand why the President and Prime Minister of the Republic could not afford the Captain what did the President of the Czech Republic (see also "A Visit to the Ombudsman" ).
Let us hope that this time the kindness of the Prime Minister of the country holding the Presidency of the EU and other high officials of the EU will not be wasted by Polish politicians. I trust that the professor. Jerzy Buzek, who did not fail to make my congratulations on the occasion of choice for the position of President of the European Parliament , keep his word given to participants of the "recall a Captain" in the dn. 15.04 this year and will do its utmost to May 25 has become a celebration of European Heroes Struggle Against Totalitarianism.
feast that we celebrate not only in Warsaw, Brussels, Prague, Stockholm, in the capital of Polish Tatra mountains and in the capital.
(many letters from municipalities is available in the previous materials published since January 2008 at www.michaltyrpa.blogspot.com )
least it is mentioned, which informed me Marcin Wawrzyniak Councillor, that 28 May, Witold Pilecki was awarded the title of honorary citizen Warsaw. I hope that this has become an inspiration for local governments and other cities.
*
Wherever we stand at the sound of sirens announcing the 65th anniversary of the "W" hour, let us remember that we are responsible for this deposit, which left the Heroes. Only depends on us, what happens to the legacy of indomitable commander Reduta Witold - Ballista Bastion of Warsaw.
