A ceremony summarizing the “Save from Oblivion – Siberian Exiles” project took place in the History of the City Department building of the Museum of Ceramics on Kutuzowa Street. The ceremony was combined with the promotion of the publication “We Had No Childhood. Memories of Siberian Exiles from Bolesławiec,” edited by Anna Gorzkowicz and Ewa Ołenicz-Bernacka from Gimnazjum Samorządowe No. 2, and Anna Puk from the Museum of Ceramics.
The book is the result of work by 121 students from primary, lower-secondary and upper-secondary schools who, under the supervision of 18 teachers, collected and prepared biographies of 63 Siberian exiles living in the city and county. The meeting was also attended by the very people featured in the book—the Siberian exiles from Bolesławiec, together with their families.
Teachers and students carrying out the project were also present. The initiative was implemented by Gimnazjum Samorządowe No. 2 named after Poles Deported to Siberia, in cooperation with the Bolesławiec Circle of the Association of Siberian Exiles and the History of the City Department of the Museum of Ceramics. The project was held under the patronage of President Piotr Roman and the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw.
