Mia Janne
The generation that resettled after WWII is now diminished in number, with only those who arrived as children or young adults remaining alive. I’m delighted that someone has started to save and gather their history and memories, as there is an urgent need to do this quickly.
Barbara
Like thousands of others, my parents arrived after the war to resettle in Britain. They were never given the opportunity to tell their story, but they kept photographs and documents that show the extent of their traumatic journey. I’m pleased that Polonia Northern England is preserving these memories; otherwise, this history may be forgotten.
Krystyna
I arrived in Manchester in the 1970s to provide special support for the Polish community in exile. They shared their memories of WWII atrocities and the circumstances that led them to live in exile in Great Britain. It is important to safeguard this history. I support Polonia Northern England’s work to save and preserve these memories.

I’m excited to hear about the work to preserve the WWII and resettlement history of ex-combatants and civilians in Northern England. Communities can become divided, and it is important to understand and share local history to build and strengthen the community. I’m keen to become involved in this project.
Stefan
My parents, who arrived to resettle, felt betrayed because no one knew the extent of their suffering. They were deported from their beautiful villages in Eastern Poland and spent their post-war lives working in the dark, noisy northern mills. I’m very pleased that there will be opportunities to share these stories, and I support this project.
Adam
I lived in Manchester in the 1960s among the Polish community, and one of my friends was Polish. I never knew about the history of the Polish heroes who contributed to the freedom of Britain, nor did I know about the deportation, exile, and reasons behind resettlement. This is a missing part of WWII history education. I support Polonia Northern England’s educational goals.
