Kresy-Siberia Group and its Foundation bring into contact people from countries around the world with a special interest in the fate of over one million Polish citizens of various faiths and ethnicities (Polish, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish, etc.) persecuted, arrested or deported from eastern Poland (Kresy) to special labour camps in Siberia, Kazakhstan and Soviet Asia from 1939 to 1941; or persecuted, persecuted, arrested or deported from eastern Poland (Kresy) to Germany, initially allied with the Soviets invading Poland from 1939 to 1941. This history includes the triumphant Polish forces key to winning the Battle of Britain in 1943 and the battle of Monte Cassino in 1944. The circumstances of the Polish citizens under Soviet occupation during WW2 was hushed up by the Allies during the war to protect the reputation of the Soviet Union, an important ally fighting Germany after 1941. Over 70 years later the survivors have aged and many have died. We bring together surviving deportees and their descendants to remember, learn, discover and spread the word of their ordeal to the world and to future generations.
