would not be what it is today. It is a unique place on the map of our city, our region, and our country \u2013 a place that nurtures the memory of those who endured the inhuman land and who have always cared deeply about preserving that memory. This was precisely the purpose behind establishing the Sybir Memorial Museum \u2013 to create a living testimony to the experiences of all those who were on <em>Sybir<\/em>. And so that we may continue to pass this memory on, ensuring that no one will ever have to suffer there again \u2013 he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Krzysztof Truskolaski, Member of the Polish Parliament<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first person honored this year was Krzysztof Truskolaski, a Member of the Polish Parliament. It was through his initiative that in 2023 the Sybir Memorial Museum was nominated for the 2024 European Museum of the Year Award \u2013 the most prestigious competition for European museums, comprising several distinguished categories. The Sybir Memorial Museum received the 2024 Council of Europe Museum Prize and was also shortlisted for the European Museum of the Year Award. As a result of these recognitions, in 2025 the Sybir Memorial Museum had the honor of hosting the EMYA2025 conference and award ceremony in Bia\u0142ystok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his speech, Krzysztof Truskolaski expressed his gratitude, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 This is a truly moving moment. Although I often speak at various ceremonies, today I find myself short of words. I will say, perhaps a little boldly, that I have felt like a friend of the Sybir Memorial Museum since its very beginning \u2013 even before receiving this beautiful statuette. Now that I have been officially named a Friend of the Museum, it is indeed a great moment in both my personal and professional life. The Sybir Memorial Museum has always been close to my heart \u2013 it still is, and always will be. In 2024, the Sybir Memorial Museum reached the top tier among European museums, and we should all be proud of that. I hope our Museum will continue to grow and that we will keep winning further distinctions in European and global rankings \u2013 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41583\" src=\"https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_11-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_11-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_11-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"41589\" src=\"https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_13-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"41586\" src=\"https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/sybir.bialystok.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dzien_Przyjaciela_Muzeum_04.11.2025_12-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leszek R\u00f3\u017ca\u0144ski, President of the Association of Sybiraks in Siemiatycze<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second person honored was Leszek R\u00f3\u017ca\u0144ski, President of the Association of Sybiraks in Siemiatycze. On June 20, 1941, he was arrested together with his family and deported to the settlement of Sherstobitovo in the Pudino District. He returned to Poland in April 1946. In 1988, he became one of the co-founders of the Association of Sybiraks in Bia\u0142ystok. He later established local branches of the Association in the city and county of Siemiatycze. Today, the Siemiatycze branch of the Association of Sybiraks has been active for 35 years, and Leszek R\u00f3\u017ca\u0144ski has received numerous honours in recognition of his efforts to commemorate patriotic and civic values, uphold national and independence traditions, and preserve the memory of the Polish Golgotha of the East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He remains deeply engaged in the activities of the <em>Sybirak<\/em> community in our region and actively participates in events organized by the Sybir Memorial Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 I am surprised to receive such an honor.

Since 2011, he has co-directed, and since 2016 has led, the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, which \u2013 following Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine \u2013 was transformed into the Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue. Since 2021, the Sybir Memorial Museum has closely cooperated with the Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue in running the popular science website <em>\u015awiat Sybiru<\/em> (<em>The World of Sybir<\/em>), which, in September this year became a finalist in the Historical Event of the Year 2024 competition in the Education category. The Centre\u2019s scholarly work \u2013 particularly in researching and presenting history \u2013 closely aligns with the mission of the Sybir Memorial Museum. This shared purpose allows both institutions tocollaborate in a complementary and mutually enriching way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wyciszkiewicz, PhD, expressed his gratitude for the award, emphasizing that he accepted the title of Friend of the Sybir Memorial Museum with great emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 It is a great honor to receive this distinction from an institution that so consistently and sensitively tells the story of Polish men and women deported to the East. In our joint efforts, we have always been guided by the same goal \u2013 to give voice to testimonies, to connect research with education, and to link history with empathy and responsibility for words. I believe that this combination of scholarly rigor and sensitivity ensures that the memory of <em>Sybir<\/em> remains alive, meaningful, and important for future generations. I see today\u2019s distinction as a commitment to continuing our cooperation \u2013 he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The celebration of Friends of the Sybir Memorial Museum Day was highlighted by a
