I am sure it has something to do with the countries mentality and leanings.  My
mother came from the area that is east of Wilno, a small town called Glebokie. 
Ive tried googling it, and I get a town that is east northeast of Wilno.  I
cannot get any detail either.  You would think that if they can read a licence
plate from space, detail like houses should not be so hard to get.

It is a shame people have nothing to celebrate except the killing of fellow
human beings.

Great, just great. So they are going to celebrate what was the start of WWII,
the beginning of what was to be the butchering 100 million people.

Since Belarus’s Aleksander Lukashenka admires Feliks Dzierżyński
so much, maybe Poland should send all it’s convicted murders, and other
criminals to Belarus to keep Lukashenka company and entertain him? We have a few
here in Canada we could donate as well.

Well never mind sending him recruits, as in reality, Aleksander Lukashenka is
probably “training� his closest friends and colleagues to be just
like Stalin and this Feliks Dzierżyński.

The weird thing is that I tried looking in www.google.com/ maps to locate Brest.
And oddly enough, google maps has lots of details of pretty much every country
in the world. But right at the Polish border details disappears. There is no
detail of Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova or Romania. They only show major highways
(well roads), and big cities. Is it like back in the cold war still or all over
there ?

Does anyone know why there is no detail on google maps??

One doesn't know whether to laugh or cry! How provocative that the monument is
to be placed in Brześć-nad-Bugiem (Brest), on the Polish border. Alas,
Feliks Dzierżyński, the creator of the Soviet secret police, was a Pole:
one of the greatest Polish scoundrels of all time.

Belarussian president Alexander Lukashenka is known to be an admirer of Felix
Dzerzhinsky, the creator of NKVD, who was born in what is now Belarus, and of
Joseph Stalin. Belarus is preparing today for grand celebrations of the 70th
anniversary of the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland, which is to be a great
display of the country's unity. In Brest, where the Wehrmacht and the Red Army
held a joint parade in September 1939, a monument commemorating the 'bright day
of 17 September' is to be unveiled.

Hello John,
I want to ask you a favor. I am organizing Launching of KS Museum in Washington
DC. It will be quite an event with reps of many foreign countries at the Polish
Embassy of September 22. I would like to introduce as a side number "Kresy
-Siberia in Poetry". What I have in mind, is to put on a table, in some
conspicuous place some of poems that have been written by KS members, such as
you, so that people could look at them and maybe take some home to read. This
being said, would you be so kind as to send me some of your poems for this
purpose?  I think it would enhance the event. It does not have to be anything
fancey; just typewritten copies will do. I am waiting for your, hopefully
positive, response.
Regards
Romuald

Hi Group,
Can anybody give me email address of Danielle Meyer who wrote that beautiful
Poem "Poem for Jerzy"? It was posted on June 19, 2009. I want to ask her if she
has any more of her poems and maybe she could send some of them to mu to be
displayed at the VMKS event in Washington DC on Sept.22.
Thanks in advance

Hello Ted
Sorry, I don't.  But - in the photocopied documents I received from Sikorski,
there was a sheaf of papers that included an application form for enrolment in
the Southern Rhodesia Women's Auxiliary Air Service (SRWAAS) for Polish Recruits
- Sikorski Archive record number: A.11E 1933.  There was also a list of
conditions, available Trades and Trade Groups (there were 3 trade groups), pay
scales, discipline etc. So I'm sure records for Gwello will be available
somewhere.
I don't have a list of the RAF stations that participated in this scheme, sorry
- I was focussed on Eastleigh.  I'm sure you will have already tried all the
usual research avenues - I had to really be persistent with Sikorski - it took a
year, but they finally came through.  MOD is a waste of time, I found.
Not a lot of help, I'm sorry, but I hope it's enough to keep you hanging in
there.
Cheers
Roger

Richard,

Your difficulties may relate to the fact that many places in the Kresy are
referred to by a variety of names in both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets in
Polish, Yiddish, Belarusian, Russian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian etc.  The current
Latinised Belarusian name for Glebokie is Hlybokaye. If you pop that name into
Google you will get 13,000 hits, which will turn up many things of interest
including this Google earth view:
http://www.maplandia.com/belarus/vitsyebsk/hlybokaye  Although map detail may be
a bit thin, there are some very detailed Polish pre-war maps and Soviet post-war
maps available on the net of a quality akin to the British Ordnance Survey maps.
If you need any help in finding those, please let me know and I will dig out
some links.

Tony.

Basiu,

Thank you for the pictures. I lived near Glebokie and drove through
there in 1992 on the way to Luzki, where I was born. Both were in
Wilno province.

Thanks again,

Witold

I wouldn't be surprised if the blurry images are low-resolution satellite shots
and Google Earth depends a lot on aerial photography for detailed images. Some
smaller communities in Canada are still fuzzy, as are even some bigger cities in
Poland. Belarus is probably not a really high priority for aerial photography at
GE -- and there are doubtless the kinds of national security concerns that you
raise, Zbigniew. The Belarussian regime seems so paranoid in other ways that I
can only imagine how suspicious it would be of a Western-based Internet company
wanting to take detailed aerial photographs of its terrain.

Glebokie was in Wilno Province not in Nowogrodek province. Now the most part
of Wilno province belong to Belarus.  Few years ago I visited this church
basements. A few kilometers from Glebokie in Berezwecz in monastery was big NKWD
prison. Thousands of people were killed there by Soviets in June 1941. Close to
prison was beautiful baroque church. This  church was  destroyed by Soviets
after World War II.  Replica of this church was built in 90s in Bialystok. The
prison in monaster exists till now.

Rysiek,
Glebokie- Glubokoye is a small town and mainly agricultural in its surroundings.
It has several old churches and a large Polish soldiers' cemetery. The place is
almoast East of Wilno in Vitebsk region today.
It is best to see it at http://globus.tut.by/glubokoye/index.htm  and if you
cannot read Cyrillic then use English translation.
It had two very famous people Dzirzynski and P Suchomy whose name relates to an
important Russian bomber.
There was also a huge jail (Gulag).

Putin uneasy about visit to <http://news.poland.com/result/news/id/2827>
Poland?


  <http://news.poland.com/upload/news/2974p070705_WS_putinEX.jpg> Putin /fot.
www.img.slate.com

2009-07-27,



Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin withholds his decision to confirm his
visit to Poland until he is certain that nobody will blame Soviet Union for
starting the World War II along Germany. Such words might be spoken during a
70 anniversary of WWII start in Westerplatte on 1st September - reports
daily "Dziennik".

- Prime Minister Putin will probably come to Poland, but we cannot confirm
it at this point of time - said Dymitrij Polianskij, a charge d`affaires of
Russian Embassy in Warsaw to the daily. He adds: - All options are still
open. He may not come, he may come just for Westerplatte celebrations or
that he will also stay for 2nd Semtember as a part of bilateral visit to
Poland.

According to the newspaper Putin prepares himself to the visit with a help
of Russian historians. Their goal is to prepare Putin to answer accusations
concerning Ribbentrop-Mo�otow pact and attacking Poland on 17th September
1939.

Rysiek,

( this message is encoded in UNICODE (UFT-8) so please set your browser
accordingly otherwise you will view odd characters. )





Seems that this town  has several names so no wonder you might have had
trouble finding  it.

Hlybokaye -  �"лыбокае -  Belarusian

Glebokie �  Polish

Glubokoye �  �"лубокое - Russian

Glubok �  Yiddish

Glubokoje �  Lithuanian

And others like  Glybokoje, Hlybokaje, Hlybokae, Hluboka,
Glebokoye, Globokie, Glubokie, Gleboke  and last but not least Glembokie



If this is the right  place, it is 100 miles ENE of Vilnius (Vilna) , 85
miles N of Minks and 37  mils SW of Disna.



Incidentally, Glebokie in  Polish means  "deep".  The
" L " has an accent on it, and so does the letter " e
".





Seems map quest has the  most map information:

I wan to add one small remark:

Głębokie can not be in Lithuanian as in Russian: Głubokoje. There
has to be another really Lithuanian name.

Hi Group,
I have on my computer a poem "10-ty Luty" Will the author come foreward and
identify him/herself? I want to display this poem at the Launching of the
Virtual Museum of KS at the Polish Embassy on Sept. 22.
Tx
Romuald

Good morning everyone.  This is my first message to the group.  I am
trying to find the current day location of my father's place of birth,
and perhaps some surviving records or relatives.  He was from Eastern
Poland, and was transferred to a Siberian labour camp in 1940 and then
released with others to find against the German Army in World War II in
Africa and Italy. I am including a copy of his discharge papers from the
Polish Army.  It does identify his place of birth under section 8, and
the last item on the second page.  I am grateful for any assistance you
can provide.

New website "Bibliography of History of Poland"



The current Bibliography of History of Poland registers compact prints and
articles concerning the history of Poland within its historic frontiers, as well
as the history of polish emigration and Polonia. It is one of the oldest
national history bibliographies, with its beginning reaching all the way back to
1901. In its modern form, its been published for over fifty years in the Polish
Academy of Sciences, at the Contemporary Bibliography Workshop in Krakow.

Every year a tome is published, containing some 8000 bibliographical
descriptions, put together in a thematic arrangement or according to the
chronological sections. Apart from the pieces concerning particular issues,
events or periods from Polish history, the bibliography includes works regarding
the organization of historical sciences, methodology, history of historiography,
didactics and history popularization, archives, libraries, museums, conferences
and historic exhibitions, as well as particular historic support sciences. The
works covering more than one period, which the chronological part of the
bibliography is divided by, are placed in the section segregated by individual
matters and fields (such as: history of science, history of language, history of
press, radio and television, history of theatre and film, matters of material
culture, matters of military history, biographies, histories of specific regions
and cities).

Thanks to the cooperation between the Institute of National Remembrance and the
History Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), the electronic
version of the „Bibliography of History of Poland” is now available online,
under the address: www.bibliografia.ipn.gov.pl

Currently, the database encloses the „Bibliography...” years of 1990 –
2005 and contains some 125000 records. In the coming days the 2006 volume will
be added with another 8331 records, as well as years 1988 – 1989 soon
thereafter. In the coming year (2009) we plan to gradually digitalize the years
1980 – 1987 and complete the databases with year 2007. Concurrently, in the
coming years the database will be expanded over further volumes, which are
prepared in the History Institute of PAN.

The Bibliography of History of Poland is created through the process based on
experience, by a team of scientists who look through some 1200 periodicals –
polish and foreign – monthlies, quarterlies, and yearly. Due to an incredibly
fast (for a thematic bibliography) preparation – each volume is published a
year after its ended. Thanks to the wide scope of search and inclusion of
related fields and areas – the Bibliography of History of Poland constitutes a
basic workshop, not merely for historians – researchers of political, economic
or military history, but also an invaluable help for the researchers of the
widely interpreted area of culture, history of the Church and religion,
archeologists, ethnologists and etc.

Newest website, dedicated to Rotamaster Witold Pilecki – hero of two wars...
www.en.pilecki.ipn.gov.pl



The President of the Institute of National Remembrance would like to cordially
invite You to visit our newest website, dedicated to Rotamaster (Cavalry
Captain) Witold Pilecki – hero of two wars, volunteer to Auschwitz, a partisan
of the Warsaw Uprising and a martyr at the hands of the totalitarian communist
regime – one of Poland’s bravest and most righteous heroes of all time.

From October 15, 2008 an English version of the internet portal dedicated to
Rotamaster Witold Pilecki (www.en.pilecki.ipn.gov.pl), finally becomes available
for the international user. It constitutes one of the many of our endeavors to
commemorate Pilecki’s life and the remembrance of him, as well as present his
figure as an uncompromised example of Polish patriotism, bravery and
perseverance in facing the overwhelming forces of the enemies.

The distinguished English historian, Professor Michael Foot, in his book Six
Faces of Courage, ranked Rotamaster Witold Pilecki as one of the six bravest
World War II resistance fighters. 60 years ago, on May 25, 1948 Witold Pilecki
was executed with a shot to the back of the head, as a result of a communist
verdict. He is considered universally as one of the most valiant and faithful
soldiers of the Republic of Poland. Until the year 1989, all information about
his achievements and tragic fate the subject of communist censorship. The place
of his burial remains unknown to this day.



“The figure of Rotamaster Witold Pilecki constitutes a symbol of sacrifice, as
offered by the Polish society on the altar of the country that underwent both
occupations: the German and Soviet. The symbol has become even more telling
since, as an unchallenged hero of the fight for independence, he was regarded by
the Communist regime as a traitor and criminal.”


– President of the Institute of NationalRemembrance, dr. Janusz Kurtyka,from
the introduction of the

“Rotamaster Witold Pilecki” album

I don't wish to be misleading, but my memory suggests she lives in Adelaide,
South Australia. Unfortunately, this information, if correct, does not provide
an email address.

She is quite active as an on-line member. Her current 'silence' may be an
indication that she is elsewhere at present.

Newscast in 1984 about the launch of the controversial book about Nazi-Zionist
collaboration.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCX62OpLggA

The Book written in 1984:

"The Transfer Agreement is Edwin Black's compelling, award-winning story of a
negotiated arrangement in 1933 between Zionist organizations and the Nazis to
transfer some 50,000 Jews, and $100 million of their assets, to Jewish Palestine
in exchange for stopping the worldwide Jewish-led boycott threatening to topple
the Hitler regime in its first year.
This updated edition includes the author's stunning new introduction and a
powerful new afterword by Anti-Defamation League national director Abraham H.
Foxman."

Poland One of the 15 Most FDI Friendly Countries in the World
       ,  July 29, 2009
       According to a survey conducted by UNCTAD, Poland not only is among the
countries which do not suffer effects of the global economic downturn but
classifies as one of the top 15 most
       FDI friendly countries in the world.

       On July the UNCTAD published its yearly survey “World Investment
Prospects Survey 2009-2011”. This year’s results confirm Poland’s position
among the most FDI friendly countries in the world.

       In fact, the country is the only CEE representative in the group of the
top 15countries attractive for FDI by factors favoring investment.

       Investment attractiveness of the countries was evaluated in 13 categories.
In several of them Poland performed well above the world average. The country
was highly assessed in respect of the size of local market and the growth of
market.

Thanks to all of you who responded and joined in to my quiery regarding my visit
to my dad's home town of Vilnius (begining at post 34476 - May 21, 2009)

Well I'm back and what an experience !! I do't want to bore you all with my
escapades but sufficient to say that I found my dads house - although rebuilt on
the same site. And living in it a cousin whom I never knew I had. Lucadia is 72
a daughter of my dad's older brother. I was helped to find the house by a man in
the street - everyone was so helpful. My cousin was beside herself when I turned
up at the doorstep. she thought that she was the last in the Matulewicz line -
but not so! Her whole family (and now my new family) came around and plenty of
wodka was consumed with plates and plates of food!

Amazingly they took me to my grandparents grave in nearby Rasos cemetery. It was
very emotional for me representing my father(who died 1975)at the graveside.I
didn't know they were buried in Vilnius I thought my grandmother was deported to
the other side of Poland.

I also made mention in an earlier post of a small gold jerusalem cross which was
meant for my grandmother on my father's return which never happened. Well I said
a prayer on my fathers behalf at the foot of the grave with the cross in my
hand, almost 70 years to the month when my dad left Wilno the circle was
complete

I went to the Lithuanian Historical Archives and for a small search fee they
found my dad's baptism certificate. It said that my dad was baptised in the
church of Ostra Brama. so I went to Matka Boska with my cross and there too
prayed for my family and offered thanks for a free and united Europe. - but at
great cost and personal tragedy.

I am biased now of course, but Vilnius old town is  wonderful. The architecture,
urban design and art is out of this world. The cafe society equals the most
sophisticated Europe has to offer. Everyone was helpful and courtious - so will
I be be back? Of course I will!
