Minister (uniquely called Minister) Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk decided to halt organizing events commemorating Józef Kuras “The Fire” and the Świętokrzyska Brigade.
This was informed by the press office of the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy. specified events were organised in erstwhile years by the Office for Combatants and Repressed Persons. Since 2016, this office has been subject to a household ministry for incomprehensible reasons for me. This sparked a protest of communities akin to the Law and Justice and Sovereign Poland.
On my way to the eyecatcher by taxi, I heard on the radio a PiS activist talk the shame of smearing the fact about “an anti-communist uprising after 1945”. I'm not gonna mess with him and prove there was no uprising. However, he mentioned respective names of killed soldiers of the underground, who he believes are a model for future generations of Poles. He mentioned, among another things, Joseph Kuras “The Fire” and Jan Stefka “The Avenger”It’s okay. ” The situation has become a small tricky. due to the fact that this mentioned Stefka in 1947 just shot Kuras. Not as an officer of the militia or security, but as a cursed man. It's not the first time. Everyone remembers how the late president Lech Kaczyński unveiled the monument of Joseph Kuras “Fire” in Zakopane. He did this against the position of any of the local AK-ovists who considered the “Fire” a bandit. A fewer years later, president Andrzej Duda, from the same environment, was kneeling and laying flowers in Dębica at a memorial dedicated to soldiers from the “National Armed Forces” squad commanded by “Avenger”.
People from the “Avenger” branch were hanged on the marketplace in Dębica in July 1946. They were very young people who needed Poland – Józef Grębosz “Pszczółka” (25), Józef Kozłowski “Mruk” (21) and Franciszek Noster “Bukiet” (26). They were active in the shooting of the Commandant of the Civic Militia Station in Domaradz Mariana Urycia and the killing of safety officials from Dębica Valentin Dziegiel and Stanisław Kosydar. To make it more interesting, Kozłowski was a police officer. These young and likely confused in a fresh reality were subject to 46-year-old Jan Stefce. He was a bricklayer. In 1939, he worked in the Rey property in Przewław close Mielec, in August he was called into the army. He participated in the September Campaign. After his surrender, he returned to Przewalia and was appointed as a municipal commissioner by the Germans to surprise the residents. He was besides allowed to start a company that received many assignments for meliorative work and logging.
His worker from that period Theophil Lenartovich he recalled in the 2009 quarterly “Nadwisłocze”: “During the business he was a municipal commissioner in the Crosspoint appointed by the Germans for merit. His power was so broad that he executed his sentence. At his hands, a Ukrainian was shot and fled the camp and returned home and respective captured Jews. The execution was carried out in Cross-Blow on the alleged Stawiski. It was written in his diary by my father, who kept notes in the notebook during the first period of the war." Lenartowicz stated: “Everyone knew Stefko was a volksdeutsch.” This account was quoted by Leszek Konarski in his text "Unbreakable volksdeutsch" in the Weekly "Review". After the war Stefko escaped from russian troops in his native parts in the Bielsko-Biała area. He joined the PPR and became a proxy for agricultural improvement in Bielski County. However, in May 1945 he was arrested for his cooperation with the German occupier. He was sentenced to Montelupich prison in Kraków, where he escaped under unusual circumstances. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison by day. He formulated a 25-member division in the districts of birch, oak and Mielec. He wanted to operate under the auspices of the then National Armed Forces. However, even Antoni Żubrid “Zuch” he did not want to have it with his own people. That is why Stefko made contact with the Head of the Freedom and independency Association Council for the territory of birch Franciszek Wozniak “Brzeszcz”. I don't know what the result was. But WiN's soldier denied it. Adam Jary. According to him, the commander stated that the ‘Avengers' Branch was a robbery band, having nothing to do with the WiN and the ‘Avengers’ should be driven from the area. It's hard to find out what the fact was today. In my opinion, this branch was not subject to anyone. Stefka fled after a raid of safety and joined the branch of Joseph Kuras “The Fire”. For unknown reasons, however, Stefko was shot in Lasek in the territory of Nowy Targ by Kurasia himself (part of historians and publicists believes that only on Kurasia's orders)
Another thing is that Joseph Kuraś “Fire” himself is equally controversial. During the war, the National Army sentenced him to death. It was cancelled in 1944. Not many mention it. He was in the Boys' Battalions. He worked closely with the People's Army “For Free Homeland” Bruno Effectiveli or Isaac Gutman and the russian group of Zolotara. On the hands of Effectiveli-Gutman, he made a message of submission to PKWN. The NSZ soldier Władysław Wójcik told us in the Katowice National organization that during this time he acted propagandaly against the AK. After the war he organized MO, and even briefly was the head of safety in the fresh Market. Then he was cursed.
The planet is not black and white. Controversial elections and much of the action of the Poak underground soldiers after the Second War should be a problem of historians' consideration. These issues are so confusing that, in my opinion, they should not be part of the current policy. Unfortunately, things have changed. The cursed became a dogma in the 3rd Polish Republic and for years they were not subject to any discussion. This created absurd situations where outlaws or safety agents are worshiped as crystal heroes. Today, as cursed soldiers, people are listed as having nothing to do with the post-war underground, specified as Walter-Janke, Fieldorf, Pilecki, Stanishkis or Skalski. In addition, they shall be placed in 1 series with specified characters as ‘Bury’, ‘Avenger’ or ‘Fire’. It's not fair. The second unwise classification is collective writing about the "cursed" and calling the full Poakian bandit underground. Of course it wasn't. After all, there were besides those who had no place to return for various reasons. And in the 1990s I met many specified – Heda Grey, She wanted to or Gutorski. Today, in addition to any suspicion, 1 looks at those who chose the way of education and work. The past of the Polish post-war war was composed of confusing fates of the Polish nation.
After the fresh government took over from Donald Tuski At the head of the decision-making centres, the lefty of Soros reigns. Individual cases are utilized to strike the full national conspiracy during the 1939-1945 business period, including the National Military Organization. An uncritical approach to the cursed subject will origin the national tradition to be eliminated during the war and war period from the past textbooks. This is how the Talmudic knowing of past ends. That's how a senseless agitka ends. erstwhile the “Polish Thoughts” environment warned about it and called for moderation, it was called “endekocomuna” and “chamocomuna” by anti-communist Hunwabins. Today, the milk spilled, and the pendulum goes the another way. The only way is to compose the fact and educate future generations of Polish nationalists.
