There were also representatives of Siberian communities, headed by Jolanta Hryniewicka, the president of the Bia\u0142ystok branch of the Association of Sybiraks. Many descendants of Sybiraks also appeared \u2014 including the members of the Community of the Grandchildren of the Sybiraks and foreign guests from the Kresy-Syberia Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the ceremony, many moving words of tribute were said to the victims of Siberia. In his speech, the Deputy Mayor of Bia\u0142ystok, Zbigniew Nikitorowicz, recalled the ruthlessness of the Soviet occupier, who systematically destroyed the elite of the Polish nation, committed brutal murders on Polish officers, but also did not shy away from harming innocent children, women and old men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 However, despite these efforts, it was not possible to destroy Polishness. We can be proud of the strength of our national spirit \u2014 added Zbigniew Nikitorowicz. He appealed to us to keep alive the memory of these people: \u2014 Only in the name of memory and truth you can build the future \u2014 he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her speech, Jolanta Hryniewicka recalled: \u2014 For many Polish families, Siberia and Kazakhstan are not just ordinary places on the map. These are the signs of fate, the most painful and tragic. Many suffered and died in these wild areas. Always faithful to God and the motherland, they died because they were Poles \u2014 she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vice-chairman of the City Council, Katarzyna Kisielewska-Martyniuk, spoke on behalf of the residents of Bia\u0142ystok: \u2014 We are standing next to a monument that resembles a mother. Women are the greatest victims of the war. They were the ones, who had to take care of their families, they had to do incredible work there to keep themselves and their children safe. Women also had to perpetuate Polishness in their children  \u2014 she emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the speeches, there was the Appeal of Remembrance and laying flowers in front of the monument of the Sybirak Mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official ceremony, however, is not the end of the celebration of the International Day of Siberian Deportee 2023. The Sybir Memorial Museum invites you today to the show “Siberian Friendship Book \u2014 Impressions” on the square behind the museum building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
