“I thank you for your words and compassion; and, in a similar vein, wish to place in the Record two letters that have been issued relating to this tragedy. One is from Stefan Wisniowski, who is the President of the Kresy-Siberia Foundation.

There were lives, hundreds of thousands upon thousands of lives lost. And he writes the following: What has happened is a black day for Poland and for her children around the world, including all of us at the Kresy-Siberia Foundation who are working for the remembrance and recognition of our collective history. Those who perished were all leaders in the nation's quest for remembrance and identity.”
