RECOGNITION AT LAST !

50 years after the war, I lived to see the liberation of Poland and the collapse of Communist Russia's occupation of Eastern Europe.  

Poland, now independent, could show to the veterans of the Polish Army in the West the appreciation for their contribution to Polish Cause during the World War 2.

Unfortunately, it came too late, especially for my children who grew up without contact with their roots and without educational help in their mother language and heritage, like other migrant children in Australia have been receiving from their free mother countries.

The black truth about the Communist evil history that affected millions of people, has been kept hidden in the West during the lifetime of my children and the young generation.

Russia does not intend to apologize and pay compensation like Germany did. They have no decency. And instead of the truth being revealed, they revise the history - it is modified, falsified or simply erased. And what's most shocking is that Stalin's and communist terror is openly justified by the highest level of Russian government in 2010 !
