Hello Stephan and friends.

Are you familiar with Mr. Bronislaw Kielbasa who was actually born in Santa Rosa in 1943? He has been researching this subject for close to 13 years. He has records of everyone that passed through Santa Rosa and has valuable information in the London and Washington Museums. His initial focus was on the families at Santa Rosa and now he is closing the gaps in the Kresy regions.  Some of his data includes Nazi Intelligent photos from 1940's of the Polish villages over taken by the Russians and he can compare the Longitude and latitude co-ordinates to present day and pin-point where your village is.  He is flying out to London to speak within the next 30 days and then is speaking in South Carolina in October.  Unfortunately he took himself off of the internet as not to contract a virus that would kill his 13 years of stored information.  Super super guy!!

Hi Mark,

Sometime in 1998, Mr. Kielbasa sent me a lot of copies of photos from

various phases of Polish Odyssey. Among them was a photo of the beach in

Pahlevi (Iran) with our primitive shelters after we came out of Russia.

These pictures (there were many of them) were taken by the Luftvaffe in

their reconnaissance in preparation for invasion of Persja, today's

Irak. I don't know why our correspondence came to an end - I would like

to resume it. I still keep these photos and I use them as attachments

and proof in my yearly letters to local schools demanding that Polish

Holocaust be included in the curriculum of history. I agree with you

that his research is invaluable in our struggle for recognition of

suffering of Poles during WWII and he should be given credit for this.

If we had more people like him our Odyssey would not be Forgotten.

Regards

Romuald
