🇵🇱 🇦🇷 "I have always considered myself a Pole born in Argentina. My children and grandchildren are already Argentinians of Polish descent" 💬 said Bartłomiej Stanisław Moszoro, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Poland in Rosario, during the official opening of the exhibition entitled “The Path and the Legacy: A History of the Moszoro Family”. 👣 👨👩👧👦
Kazimierz and Ludmiła, parents of Bartłomiej, came from the South-Eastern Borderlands of the Second Polish Republic. 🇵🇱 They spent their youth in Lviv, but 💥 World War II threw Kazimierz outside Poland and led him to serve in the ⚔️ Polish armed forces. Ludmiła's activities in the resistance movement led to her ⛓ arrest and then to the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Ravensbrück. They met again in London 🏙 , where they fell in love 👩❤️💋👨, got married 💒 and - like hundreds of other Polish families - emigrated to the other side of the world 🌎. They could not return to Poland, so they built their future in Argentina. However, the memory of their homeland remained alive in their family.
🎊 On the Argentinian Immigrant's Day (4.09), the exhibition about the Moszoro family was officially opened in Warsaw. The exhibition, which is under the honorary patronage of the Argentine Embassy in Poland, was created by the Archives of the Institute of National Remembrance and pays tribute to all Polish families, who were forced to a life of exile as a result of WW2. 🇵🇱
