Dames en heren, jongens en meisjes<\/p>\n

Ook aan u een hartelijk welkom op deze middag waar wij aandacht schenken aan de bijdrage van de 1st Poolse Onafhankelijke Parachutisten Brigade aan de Slag om Arnhem, 64 jaar geleden.<\/p>\n

Een jaar geleden nam de Poolse journaliste Joanna Pieciukiewicz contact op met een collega in Nederland via de website Polonia.nl. Zij wilde nadere informatie over de toekenning van de Militaire Willemsorde en de Bronzen Leeuw aan de opvolgers van de 1ste Poolse Onafhankelijke Parachutisten Brigade respectievelijk generaal Stanislaw Sosabowski. De achtergrond was dat zij een documentaire wilde samenstellen over de inzet van Nederlanders voor haar landgenoten, terwijl over hun inzet tijdens de september dagen van 1944 in haar eigen vaderland nauwelijks iets bekend was.<\/p>\n

Haar werd geadviseerd direct naar Nederland te komen om de herdenking aan het einde van die week bij te wonen.
\nZoals zij zelf vertelde, stond zij perplex over de betrokkenheid van Driel bij Polen.<\/p>\n

In november 2007 is zij samen met een camera ploeg terug geweest en heeft zij vele opnames gemaakt en direct betrokkenen ge\u00efnterviewd.
\nDe premi\u00e8re en uizending van haar documentaire vond in juni jongstleden plaats via de poolse Wereldomroep – TV Polonia. Dat de uitzending door vele Polen is bekeken is inmiddels duidelijk. De belangstelling voor de geschiedenis maar ook voor deze herdenking is in Polen toegenomen.<\/p>\n

Als voorbeeld wil ik noemen de aanwezigheid van ongeveer 50 Polen uit Trzci\u00f1sko Zdr\u00f3j tezamen met belangstellenden uit de gemeente Graft-De Rijp waarmee zij een jumelage hebben. Later vanmiddag zal nog een koor uit de omgeving van Cracow arriveren, die voordat zij vanuit Brussel naar Polen terug reizen, nog even Driel zullen aandoen.<\/p>\n

De betreffende documentaire is gisterenmiddag door de Poolse ambassade in Den Haag aan genodigden gepresenteerd en zal vanmiddag om 5 uur in de Oldenburg worden vertoond.<\/p>\n

De opnames die van deze herdenking worden gemaakt zullen in de komende dagen in Polen via televisie worden uitgezonden.<\/p>\n

Een van de idealen van Cora Baltussen was het verspreiden in Polen van de geschiedenis van de 1ste Poolse Onafhankelijke Parachutisten Brigade en generaal Stanislaw Sosabowski. Tijdens haar leven verliep dit zeer geleidelijk. Zij heeft waarschijnlijk nooit kunnen vermoeden dat deze geschiedenis zo kort na haar overlijden alsnog snel zou worden verspreid.
\nWij zijn ervan overtuigd dat in de komende jaren de belangstelling vanuit Polen zal toenemen en willen hier ook graag gehoor aan geven.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
