The producers of the radio play, actors from Bia\u0142ystok and Gda\u0144sk, including Marek Tyszkiewicz and Andrzej \u017bak, were also present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Andrzej \u017bak received the manuscript of the nativity play and he decided to donate it to the collection of the Sybir Memorial Museum. One year later, the two actors decided to produce this radio play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Each action has somebody\u2019s initiative at the beginning. It should be stressed, that the men were determined and successfully persuaded us to make this radio play \u2014 said the Director of the Sybir Memorial Museum, professor Wojciech \u015aleszy\u0144ski. \u2014 The museum will try to publish the recording in an appropriate form so it is accessible to everyone \u2014 he assured the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Sybir Memorial Museum is fulfilling this promise. The radio play, published in the form of a memory card placed in an elegant cover, with an accompanying brochure, is now on sale. It can be purchased both at the Museum headquarters at 1 W\u0119glowa Street and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of “The Nativity Play from Tara by the Irtysh River”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nativity play was noted in 1919 and performed over 100 years ago in the distant Tara by the Irtysh river. This is where the community of polish exiles and their families gathered around the chapel, which was not only a place of prayer, but also the center of cultural and social life of our compatriots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The children attended Polish language lessons there and once a year, at Christmas, everyone gathered to watch nativity plays presented with puppets on a box stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nativity play, under the dictation of Mr. Sta\u0144czyk, an exile, was written by Marysia, the daughter of Antoni Korona, who came from Garwolin and was exiled to Siberia in 1905. The Koron family and their children returned to Poland in 1921.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria, married to Gniedziuk, in 1987 gave the manuscript to Andrzej \u017bak, who devoted himself to developing the material and preparing a radio play on the basic of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mrs. Maria\u2019s youngest brother was married to my relative. Probably, if I hadn\u2019t got into the theater school here in Bialystok, to the Department of Puppet, this nativity scene would not have seen the light of day. Because the rest of the memorabilia of Mrs. Maria, including her memories from Siberia, which today cannot be reconstructed, were thrown away by her heirs after her death during the renovation of the apartment \u2014 said Andrzej \u017bak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
