The Sybir Memorial Museum is currently creating one of the most interesting publications dedicated to the topic of Siberia \u2013 with a wide range of books combining reliable research with an accessible format. For years, the institution has published valuable scholarly studies, editions of sources, and memoirs of Sybiraks, thanks to which the experience of exile can be explored not only in the permanent exhibition but also in books available to a wide audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A discussion about the books Polish Orphanage in Bolshaya Yerba<\/em> and 18th\u201320th century homecomings from Sybir<\/em> will provide an opportunity to present selected titles from this publishing house. We will explore the background of both publications, discuss the sources used, and discuss the fates of their protagonists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katarzyna \u015aliwowska’s book Polish Orphanage in Bolshaya Yerba<\/em> tells the story of a Polish orphanage in Siberia, where children of exiles deported deep into the Soviet Union were placed. The author describes the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the facility after the Sikorski-Mayski Agreement, its operation under the supervision of the Polish authorities and later the Union of Polish Patriots, and the dramatic choices made by adults who often accepted Soviet citizenship to remain with the children. The postwar fate of the children and their return to Poland also plays a significant role in the book. The publication draws on, among other things, the memories of staff and children, giving the orphanage’s history a deeply personal dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Przemys\u0142aw Borowik’s 18th\u201320th century homecomings from Sybir<\/em> presents a broad panorama of Polish experiences of exile and return spanning over two hundred years. The author recounts the fates of the Bar Confederates, participants in the Ko\u015bciuszko Uprising, exiles following the 19th-century uprisings, World War I refugees, and those deported in 1940\u20131941, including soldiers of the armies of Generals W\u0142adys\u0142aw Anders and Zygmunt Berling, as well as post-war repatriates. The publication reveals the varied paths from Siberia home \u2013 from months-long marches in “stages” to returns made possible by amnesties and interstate agreements. It is a story of hope, determination, and the struggle against bureaucratic obstacles in proving the right to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
