May means also celebrating the victory of Monte Cassino. Nevertheless, it needs to be remembered, that not only soldiers, but also thousands of civilians — women, children and people unable to join the army were evacuated with Anders’ Army. We’ll remember that in our May episode of the “Exhibit of the Month”. On May 9, 2023 at 10 a.m. we’ll present the mementos of the Wojtasiewicz family — Renata Halina Iwanowska and her parents Kazimiera and Jan, who thanks to the “amnesty” of 1941 could leave the USSR — will be the characters of the story.
On May 11 at 6.00 p.m there will be another meeting in the series hosting travelers and creators: writers, journalists, photographers and filmmakers. This time Zofia Piłasiewicz, the author of the book “Siberian Dream. A Roadless Tale.”
The traveler will talk about her trips on the Trans-Siberian Railway, walking through the taiga and canoeing trips. Zofia Piłasiewicz flowed down the rivers of the Republic of Tuva — Yenisei, Chamsara and Ulug-O.
