On Sunday, September 14, as part of the upcoming 86th anniversary of the Soviet aggression against Poland and World Sybirak Day, a special guided tour of the permanent exhibition was held, featuring the presence of the Sybiraks themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, visitors had the opportunity to hear the moving stories of J\u00f3zef Panasiuk and Julia Jab\u0142o\u0144ska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the room dedicated to life in exile, J\u00f3zef Panasiuk, born in 1934 in Dolsk, Polesia, recounted how, in February 1940, he and his nine-member family were deported to Noszul in the Komi Autonomous Republic, where he soon lost his mother and three siblings to typhus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe, the youngest children, were taken from the camps to Russian diet domy (orphanages). I stayed there with my brother and youngest sister,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His father, along with the two eldest children, left the USSR with Anders\u2019 Army and later died in Italy. J\u00f3zef Panasiuk returned to Poland in June 1946. In 1954, he left the orphanage and moved to Bia\u0142ystok, where he still lives today and remains an active member of the Association of Sybiraks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, Julia Jab\u0142o\u0144ska, born in 1952 in Kazakhstan, shared her story. Her parents, Boles\u0142aw Jab\u0142o\u0144ski and Stanis\u0142awa Witwicka, like thousands of Polish families, were resettled to Kazakhstan in 1936, following the liquidation of the Julian Marchlewski Polish National District (in the Ukrainian SSR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn earthen house \u2013 some of you may know what it looks like \u2013 has no foundations. The walls were built directly on the ground with a makeshift roof, and there was no floor. I was born in such an earthen house,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julia Jab\u0142o\u0144ska completed her schooling in Kazakhstan and later graduated from university in Russia. She returned to Poland with her sister and mother only in 2005. Today, she lives in Bia\u0142ystok and is an active member of the Association of Sybiraks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to eyewitness testimonies is always a deeply moving experience. The memories of individual people remind us that history is, above all, a story about human lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sincerely thank our dear Sybiraks for their time and for sharing their personal experiences with our guests. We also thank everyone who joined us for this touching lesson in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
