Untold Stories Come Alive
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by
Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union; the start of WWII. The war exacted an
enormous physical and human toll. Apart from the millions of dead, millions
others became displaced from their homes. Many of these displaced persons found
a home outside of their homeland, in England, Australia and North America, in
places like Toronto and Buffalo. Since settling here, these immigrants quietly built
new lives, worked hard and generally kept silent about what they had experienced.
Conscious of the fact that many of the survivors have died, taking their stories to
their graves forever, the Polish Legacy Project in Buffalo-WWII was formed with
the aim of documenting the stories of those who are still among us. Feeling a sense
of urgency, we have set out to capture these stories in order to share them with
the community at large.
