“This is a black day for Poland and for her children around the world, including all of us at Kresy-Siberia who are working for the remembrance and recognition of our collective history. Those who perished today were all leaders in the Nation's quest for remembrance and identity. Many were close friends of the Kresy-Siberia Foundation, and among those we have lost are: Two of the Honorary Patrons of the Kresy-Siberia Virtual Museum; Ryszard Kaczorowski, the last Polish President-in-Exile, and Janusz Krupski, Ministry for Veterans and Repressed Persons. Our first important backer, Maciejski, President of the ``lnota Polska'' (Polish Union) Association, who had the courage and vision to be the first major sponsor of our virtual museum and whose organization now hosts our office in Warsaw.”
