Polish Living History Polish Living History is a nonprofit, established to promote Polish history, customs & traditions. Polish Living History, Inc. Thank you!

is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, established to promote and educate about Polish, American and World history through the organization of living history events, exhibits and other programs and services. It is our hope and goal to bring together under one umbrella all the different living history groups and individuals, regardless of which century or impression they represent. During the past several years we have found that there are many little pockets of reenactors out there going to events and fending for themselves. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to join together, help each other, advise each other, build on each other’s strengths and knowledge? We think it would be awesome to gather as one big group, representing all different eras and attend an event as one. We are at the moment a small group with a passion for Polish history. Some of us are actually born in Poland, some have Polish roots and even some have no connection to Poland except for their love of the history and the country. If you would like to join us, help us bring these events to life or simply support our efforts, please contact us. There are many different ways you can help. Dziękuję!

"Modlitwa Obozowa,” or “The Camp Prayer,” was written in October of 1939 by Polish soldier and poet Adam Kowalski.

Poland had just been invaded. Polish soldiers had been scattered across Europe, many imprisoned or interned, separated from their families and uncertain when they would ever see their homeland again.

Kowalski wrote this prayer while he himself was interned in Romania.

The song quickly spread among Polish soldiers. It traveled with the Polish Armed Forces in the West and was eventually carried back into occupied Poland, where it became part of the spiritual life of the Polish underground and partisan movement.

Its message is simple: **a prayer for Poland, a prayer for strength, and above all, a prayer to return to a free homeland.**

Nearly ninety years later, we can still hear that prayer.

As you listen, remember the soldiers who first sang these words far from home.

They did not know when they would return.

They only knew that they wanted to return to a **free Poland**.

This is their prayer.

**“Modlitwa Obozowa.”**

Camp Prayer – Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army

Oh Lord, who dwellest in the heavens,
Stretch forth Thy righteous hand!
From foreign lands we call to Thee,
For a Polish roof and Polish arms.

Oh God, shatter the sword
That struck down our land;
Grant us return to a free Poland!
May it become a fortress of new strength—
Our home, our home.

Oh hear, Lord, our lament,
Oh hear our song of exile!
From the Warta, Vistula, San, and Bug,
Martyred blood cries out to Thee!

Oh God, shatter the sword...

Adam Kowalski – October 1939
