The official event, held in honor of both occasions, was opened by Monika Szarejko, Head of the Permanent Exhibition Department, who warmly welcomed all guests. The first to speak was the museum\u2019s director:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe decided to combine these two holidays not only because they are close together on the calendar. Mothers \u2014 Sybiraks \u2014 and the children they saved are true characters of the Museum. Today, we pay tribute to them,\u201d said Prof. Wojciech \u015aleszy\u0144ski, Director of the Sybir Memorial Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to our mothers, we survived. They instilled in us patriotism and hope. Today, we want to thank them with all our hearts,\u201d added Jolanta Hryniewicka, President of the Bia\u0142ystok branch of the Union of Sybir Deportees, asking for a moment of silence to honor all Sybir Mothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moving testimonies were accompanied by memories shared by the Sybiraks themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was taken from Polesie when I was only four weeks old. I could feel my mother\u2019s heartbeat \u2014 thanks to her, I survived,\u201d recalled Barbara Sok\u00f3lska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always called her \u2018mamusia.\u2019 In the cattle wagon, amid weeping and darkness, she hugged each of us one by one, with a smile that gave us hope,\u201d shared Janina Rutkowska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gathering concluded with a sweet treat, and the museum\u2019s halls buzzed with heartfelt conversations about mothers \u2014 mammas, mommies, and dear matulas \u2014 full of emotion and gratitude. Alongside the Sybir deportees and their families, we also welcomed representatives of the law firm Wynimko & Partners, to whom we extend our sincere thanks for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thank the Sybir deportees, their families, and everyone who filled the museum halls with love and remembrance. Your presence keeps the Sybir Memorial Museum alive \u2014 this is your place and your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
