See a moving plaque to Jan Lechon, and zero explanation of who Jan Lechon is, or why anyone passing by might care about him. <br /><br />See a plaque to Poles who died in concentration camps and no explanation that anyone might understand about those Poles. <br /><br />The Smolensk monument says nothing about the winged hussars. <br /><br />And on and on. <br /><br />Even the bookstore is almost 100 percent Polish. Books in the Polish language, kitschy souvenirs like hats saying I'm Proud to be Polish. <br /><br />Not even nice Polish stuff, like folk art. <br /><br />And the web page text contains ESL errors. <br /><br />Look, I'm here. Polonia could hire me, or you, or anyone to curate the place and make it more accessible. <br /><br />But no.
