The proprietor is Stanislaw (Stash) Pruszynski, a journalist who worked for years for Radio Free Europe and lived in the States and Canada for many years before returning to Poland. His father was on Sikorski's staff during the war. the cafe's walls are covered with journalistic memorabilia from the PRL and Radio Free Europe years. I told him about "Bieganski" and he is very interested in your ideas. He is involved in a salon which meets here on Mondays and where people tell discuss their ideas and experiences about Poland, Polish culture and Poland's place in the world. <br />His contact details are as follows info@radiocafe.pl; phone 22-625-27-84, mob 602-316-808. there is also a website www.radiocafe.pl He seems to have a lot of contacts.<br />All the best<br />PeterPeter rechniewskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-21087698095888715042011-07-10T02:00:53.094-04:002011-07-10T02:00:53.094-04:00Anna and Christina, thank you for your comments.Anna and Christina, thank you for your comments.D Goskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353495585591945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-3742119218503842002011-07-08T14:33:43.721-04:002011-07-08T14:33:43.721-04:00Danusha - I wish I could have been there to hear ...Danusha - I wish I could have been there to hear your presentation. To travel so far and speak to just a handful - that is hard to accept. I've done it though with poetry most of my life. The "witnesses" - see Muriel Rukeyser here in The Life of Poetry - willing to attend are always only a handful. And I am glad you were able to dispel the false belief that this Bieganski came about because of all the illiterate and desperate for work Poles - my grandfathers and grandmothers on both sides -who came to the U.S. in the migration from Polska a hundred years ago.

Cannot say that what I have heard (most of my adult life in America) coming from the mouths of Catholic Poles about Jewish Poles has been positive. But, my mother-in-law sheltered Jews in her basement during WWII, and my father taught me to be open-minded to all people, all professions, all religions..... I don't personally have too much experience with Polish Jews. Many of my clients are Russian Jews, who treat me with respect and follow my advice; when I tell them my family's story, they are intrigued and ask to borrow my books or want to meet my mother. So for now, until I learn more, I am a bit confused. But of one thing I am certain, and I wholeheartedly agree with your comment that Polish Americans should unite, behave in a civil manner with each other and support each other; I don't know if you are referring to the Catholic vs. Jewish aspect or behavior in general, but I have seen the opposite too many times, and it made me crazy.Anna Brzuzanoreply@blogger.com
