Oh, my God.Warsaw Uprisinganniversarymemory

We remind you of the 2014 column due to the fact that it is painfully current - Yes, this fight is inactive going on!

Czesław Miłosz recalls in “Family Europe” on 1 August 1944. He went to tea with his friends to discuss his fresh translation of the poem of the English poet. In his hand, he carried a book of his poesy borrowed from the university library. A fewer minutes later he crawled between the vegetations of suburban gardens pinned by firearm fire. Still, he did not let the book out of his hand, so he ordered respect for social property. His home was destroyed.
The documentary "Girls" (TVP Historia) is simply a wonderful communicative of the girls-soldiers of the Warsaw Uprising, erstwhile liaisons and paramedics. To the end, beautiful women with body and spirit, with heat, love for man and beautiful Polish are like those days. Recorded by the insurgent photojournalist, painter, graphic artist, Stefan Rassalski not only in photographs, but in paintings located in the Warsaw Uprising Museum.
Barbara Friche recalls a journey from Żoliborz, a tram, with a briefcase filled with respective guns. There's paperboys coming into the tram, small boys screaming: catch, catch! Everyone starts jumping, Barbara doesn't know what to do, the conductor comes up to her, takes the briefcase, pushes her out of the tram and dates her in 45 minutes at Narutovich Square. Barbara runs up to the rickshaw, announces that she is penniless and is taken without a word to Narutovich Square. He's looking around. It's quite a few streetcars, and she can't even remember her face. The conductor approaches her and returns the briefcase. This communicative “about the large trust in Warsaw, Warsaw grew up to this uprising, we were friends with each other, strangers.”
He besides mentions his first sanitary point, located on the marketplace Square at number 5, there were 45 paramedics. It was inactive peaceful, German torturers were dealing with the civilian population on Wola. But the bombings and firearm fire began soon. Barbara inactive remembers the sight of the women whose eyes had fallen, and their children were under it, in ruins. The helplessness of an orderly who could only give her mothers whale drops. He besides mentions large intimacy, relationship with both colleagues, wounded soldiers, and the civilian population, which lived in dark old town cellars. Over 1 of these cellars was a dressing point, which after the demolition of the area the girls moved to the basement. Then they encountered extraordinary people, who, despite the burning wounds, burns, and terrible surviving conditions, treated each another with a large heart, it was a truly extraordinary atmosphere, so much goodness was among people. We were 1 large city where everyone lived 1 thing together!
“Each Warsaw townhouse was a planet in itself. Before the war, you could live for 10 years in the same home without knowing who he was and what the neighbor's name is at the level above. At the time of the uprising, all residents of the tenement home were 1 compact group. This community was possibly 1 of the most characteristic features of insurgent life, it was a community of cellar shelter, soup boiler and a part of bread. The community of danger, and very frequently the community of death and grave. Its external expression was the altar set in the court, in the yard or basement before which the household gathered to pray together, both the most devout and those who had not crossed the threshold of the church for years" (Jan Nowak Jezioranski "Kurier from Warsaw").
The movie “Insurrection and Medicine” is another communicative about human solidarity and the sacrifice of wellness care. The uprising was attended by doctors of all specializations, of course the most desirable were surgeons, they had the most to do. any surgeons operated 2-3 hours a day all the time, it seems incredible, but it was. “I had a class for 24 hours, I operated on car masks, by candles,” the doctor recalls. “I liked the job, started visiting hospitals. yet I came to Chmielna 28, Dr Janina Krzyżanowska accepted me. The infirmary was in a hotel – a home of light customs, perfectly suitable for a infirmary due to the fact that it had the essential equipment, beds, sheets. all free minute I was wiping blood on the stairs, I couldn't stand people trampling on it," the paramedic recalls. The next day of the uprising was worse, bombed hospitals, moved injured to fresh rooms, exhausted drugs, deficiency of dressings, “cut off from deliveries, and only the injured arrived, and erstwhile there was no water, it was a disaster.” Helplessness to patients injured again due to bombardment of the hospital, crushed by rubble, burned. Crossing with lighter injured canals to temporarily safer areas. And finally, a proceeding with wounded and faithful doctors. Fret 10 Street is the place where German torturers shot out of infirmary doctors and patients.
Paramedic Halina Wołowicz was badly injured on the last day of the uprising, in Dreszer Park. She regained consciousness treated by a branch doctor, a russian prisoner of war who was captured by Germany. He worked at Ujazdowski Hospital, where he was stolen by AK soldiers and thus went to Halina ward. A Georgian of origin, a wonderful, brave man and physician, a large friend of the insurgents.
Halina, left as badly wounded, miraculously avoided the deaths in the basement, which German soldiers looted and killed the wounded in. She was saved by an elder of Germany, had a daughter of her age, brought in paramedics, including Margaret, the protagonist of the song "Sanitarian Margaret" to take her to safety. Unfortunately, the doctor, Georgian, was not lucky, after the war ended, he was sent by alleged "liberators" for 18 years of dense russian camp.
Capitalation. In the German movie chronicle, the German commentary by the German writer reads: "The last opposition of insurgents in Warsaw yet broke under the weight of the German weapon fire".
"It was a dark night erstwhile we left Warsaw, we had to hold hands so as not to get lost, we did not see, but we felt that people were standing on the sidewalks." Warsaw girls were taken to POW camps, any managed to flee into the forest. Many of them worked in conspiracy. "I was arrested on 16 November 1946, in Krucza, a black car pulled up, took me under arms and drove me to the Basketball," says paramedic Krystyna Kosiorek. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
On 1 August 2014, the morning of Radio Wnet devoted entirely to the memory of the Warsaw Uprising. A Radio Wnet listener arrived thanked for the broadcast on behalf of her mother, who fought for the memory of the uprising (author of the memoirs "When a Lie Was Virtue"-Dulag). As a volunteer, she returned to the civilian population camp in Pruszkow, due to the fact that she knew German and wanted to aid refugees from Warsaw, to defend them from being exported to German labour camps. This is another example of the solidarity of the Warsawers. In the morning Radio Wnet besides sang runners from Głubczyc, who came to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. A group of young men, descendants of Kresovians. moving to Warsaw, they besides stopped at the monument of the Silesian Uprisings on the Mount of St.Anna, visiting Stalag 344 Lamsdorf (now Łambinowice). It was there that the young, 12-year-old boys, after the fall of the Warsaw Uprising, were carried by carriages, thrown with stones and stripped of their clothes by local Germans, after all, according to the propaganda of the German invaders, were Polish bandits. A peculiar guest of the Morning was Barbara Butler-Błasińska, bearing witness to what happened at the Savior's Square during the Warsaw Uprising. At the exit of Mokotowska Street and the Savior's Pl. there was an insurgent barricade, in this area was fought by Battalion Ruczaj, and there was an aunt of Mr. Barbara, Hanka, ps. Sarna. At the Savior's Square there was an emergency station for scouts and a scout internate prepared for the needs of the field hospital, next to the Marszałkowska Street another Scout hospital. The sister of his mother, Mr. Barbara, sub-harvest of Aniel Butler-Kowalska, ps. On August 4, my aunt was on work at the hospital. It was that day that the Germans ordered the scouts and residents of the tenement houses to leave the yard and organize a surviving shield, rushing in front of the tanks to the barricade. Almost everyone died.
Eugenius Ajski survived the uprising where he lived, in Mokotów. He fought to commemorate the insurgents who died “due to West selfishness and east betrayal.” Eugeniusz Ajewski, ps. “Cat” is the creator of 10 monuments related to the Warsaw Uprising. The last of them was the anchor set on the Czerniakowski Mound. The memorials were placed in a place of shriveled blood of the inhabitants of Warsaw and came to aid them, whose way was free Poland. The monument to the AK "Baszta" regiment was created socially, standing in the place of the insurgent cemetery. The bodies murdered by the occupier were put in the grave in this square with a bottle of data on the sheet to exhume and bury all the bodies in the cemetery in Powązki after the war. Mr. Eugeniusz commemorated the heroes of the uprising besides in the album, with pictures of the face, not always good quality, any were performed during the exhumation. And erstwhile the photograph was missing, he drew from his memory the face of the beautiful liaisons in which all the boys in his ward made love.
The photos of the participants of the Uprising can besides be seen at the interesting exhibition Bogusław Lustyka Barricada Warsaw 2014, close Krakowskie Przedmieście.
The Social Committee of Warsaw Uprising Circumstances in Prague reminded about the heroism and determination of the soldiers and the civilian population of Prague, which helped the fighters with large enthusiasm. A regiment in Skwera. Antoni Żurowski's government and social groups told the communicative of those days and laid wreaths at the monument. The Historical independency Group performed a reconstruction of the fights fought at the barricade, the life of the insurgent ward, including the wedding, due to the fact that young people loved each another and dreamed of a happy future. And at the end of the gathering they received singers and at the accompaniment of harmony they sang songs of the Warsaw Uprising led by an excellent singer.
Madam president of the city participated in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, and even gave a speech in which she expressed respective sentences about the outbreak of 'against the cruel Nazi occupation'. Political correctness against science, documents, witnesses or opposition to cognition causes this word to be used? And how can we reconcile the participation in the celebrations expressing respect for the insurgents, with the tacky paper rainbow in the Savior's Square, set against the will of the residents of the townhouses solidarity with the fighting and the fallen in the square? Fortunately, the president did not make an assessment of the insurgency wellness service and did not take distant the right to practice the profession to doctors who saved lives in those days without considering that their patients would be disabled people.
Rightly said the President, the Warsaw Uprising cannot divide, we should be solidarity, respect the memory of the uprising. Will solidarity between executioners and victims mean a dignified condition for the existence of selfless participants in armed opposition from 70 years ago and their families? Will they receive 8,000 pensions, like their torturers?
Are those who are inactive alive present and who are hunting after the Uprising for our unique elite of Poles, extraordinary citizens of the world, including the planet of science, culture and art, officials of criminal services in the Polish People's Republic of Poland will be publically condemned? Will they apologize in the name of solidarity to their victims?
Most of our wonderful compatriots have already left, hurt, without apologies and without compensation for years of contempt, imprisonment and social marginalisation and the ban on residence in the city (sic!). And remember, Poles from distant areas of Poland and even beyond its borders came to aid Warsawers. Thank you, too.
Does the President's message mean an apology for detaining and punishing the participants in the protest “You will not shut us all down”? After all, we are working to honor the memory of the participants of the uprising, and after the end of the war, the victims of the camps, the prisoners, the deadly work in mines, quarries whose perpetrators, the officers of the criminal service are glorified by the current ruling alleged "power".
As a state, we did not receive compensation from the German invaders for the destroyed material goods, cultural heritage, for impoverishing us all, for participating in the theft of east lands rich in good developed centuries of work of the large Polish elite from various social groups. We didn't get a word of apology. The inhabitants of the German municipality of Sylt paid tribute to Poles murdered at the order of SS General Heinz Reinefarth, called the executioner of Wola, who after the war was mayor of the city of Westerland, and besides sat in the Landtag Schleswig-Holstein. They waited 70 years since the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising.
As citizens of the state, we have not been compensated for the demolition of our finest countrymen by another our compatriots who entered the arena of past along with the red plague, confessing and teaching hatred for the ideologically different, fighting against the Polish elite, the church, indoctrination young people and enriching themselves with our common heritage. It looks like this fight is inactive going on.
Oh, my God.
