Call for Volunteers

Warsaw Uprising Website

Let me introduce myself: I am Witold Kiezun Jr., a Polish-American born and educated in Warsaw and living for over 20 years in San Diego, CA. Last year, after visiting my aging parents in Warsaw, I have realized that so many incredible WWII stories of people of their generation might not be preserved and thus will never be told. This inspired me into creating an English language website dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 (www.warsawuprising.com).

Since the scope of this site is constantly growing, I am looking for volunteers to help me translate documents and memoirs (Polish--English), do research, digitize material, etc. Additionally, I always welcome historical, language, and technical critique of the website material.

In addition to the Warsaw Uprising subject, I am also working on a website about the WWII efforts to save Polish Jews during the Holocaust.

Help to Restore the Kosciuszko Monument in Milwaukee

The years have taken their toll on the historic Kosciuszko Monument. The bronze sculpture has never been conserved and is in need of significant restoration. Radiography and metal analysis have determined that extensive conservation to both the interior and exterior are necessary to maintain the integrity of the monument and ensure that it survives for future generations. You can support this effort to donate money to the Restore Kosciuszko Monument. Your donation is tax deductible. Find out more at the project's website.
