Od soboty siedzę przy komputerze i śledzę wydarzenia w Polsce. Na szczęście ciągle pojawiają się nowe wiadomości, nowe zdjęcia, czyjeś reakcje, odczucia i przemyślenia. Szukam tych, które mówią o pojednaniu, o solidarności, o reakcjach współczucia i pomocy. Ktoś na przykład napisał, że Rosjanie nie zmienią już historii Katynia z 1940 roku ale mogą napisać nową o swojej solidarności z Polską 70 lat później. Zamieszczę adresy internetowe artykułów, które ostatnio czytałem. Chciałbym również zwrócić się do Was abyście przesłali do mnie myśli, słowa – to z czym chcielibyście się podzielić z innymi a ja będę umieszczał Wasze listy tutaj, pod tymi słowami…

Since Saturday I have been sitting at the computer and reading about the events in Poland. New information, new pictures, and more reactions, thoughts, and feelings about the tragic events appear quickly. I look for postings which speak of unity and solidarity and express sympathy. For example, it has been written that while Russia cannot change the history of Katyń in 1940, it is now able to join in Solidarity with Poland seventy years later. Below I have listed links to some of the articles I have read. Please also send me your thoughts on these events, so that we may share them with others and in the newsletter.
