Hard to believe it’s been 3 years since my reporting from #Ukraine and #Poland. I watched men, with tears in their eyes, lift their babies onto buses to safety before walking back across the border to repel the Russian attack on their home.
#OnThisDay in 1746, Thaddeus Kościuszko, one of the most recognized Polish names from the Revolutionary War, was born. He is pictured on this sheet of postage stamps in our collection issued during the United States Bicentennial.

I think this is even worse than the Star-Ledger announcement, since the Jersey Journal has a few reporters doing real work and it's just closing entirely — not just ceasing print publication. https://t.co/kk0vOqdnVW

Matthew, thank you for the opportunity to discuss my research and the importance of translated memoirs in building bridges between the Polish and Western understanding of the war.
Many thanks @SilenceInPolish for speaking with me for the Polish American Journal about your presentation this summer at @WWIImuseum marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Falaise Pocket + upcoming publication of the English language edition of General Maczek’s memoirs.
Thank you @SwedeninUSA for inviting me to participate in this important commemoration.
The story of Zygmunt Lakocinski's selfless work spearheading The Polish Research Institute in Lund 🇸🇪 & recording testimonies of #WWII concentration camp victims deserves to be widely known
To mark the anniversary of the proclamation of #RaoulWallenberg as an Honorary Citizen of the 🇺🇸, we hosted a rooftop screening of the film LAKOCINSKI’S 9: Documenting the Unspeakable followed by a Q&A w/ 🇸🇪 director Magnus Gertten & @MStefanski1 of PAAA. #OneCanMakeADifference
On #HistoryWritersDay - not me but General Stanisław Maczek, whose memoirs span his military career from the Italian Front of the First World War through to the North-West Europe Campaign in 44/45.
Out in English on 30th November:

Solidarity with all those impacted, and to all lending a vital hand to those in need.

Southern Poland has been hit by major flooding, which has so far claimed one life.

Harris reminded the 800K Polish Americans in Pennsylvania that Trump would sell out our allies and that Putin would eat him for lunch, and she brought the receipts.
She's right -- and don't underestimate the political significance of what she said if this election stays close.
Absolutely honoured to have helped bring this to life - the first English translation of General Maczek's memoirs - alongside the Maczek family, the Polish Embassy, our wonderful Polish translators and @penswordbooks.
A dog who throws a ball to passers-by from a balcony above one of Poland’s most famous streets and waits for them to throw it back has become a star.
