Polish Heritage Association of Maryland PHAM celebrates and sustains Polish heritage and history and supports and develops the next generation of leaders of Polish ancestry. Miksinski, Boleslaw W.

Our scholarship program is central to our mission, providing support to hundreds of students since 1974. On September 26, 1974, under the leadership of Stanley Ciesielski, the following individuals: Lucian Antosiak, Maria Antosiak, John T. Ciesielski, Emily Conner, Alfreda Jamrosz, Stanislaw Jamrosz, Alfreda Zglinicka Kiessling, Tadeusz Leser, Anne F. Miksinski, Eleanor A. Miksinski, Jan Minkowski, Danuta Mostwin, Stanislaw Mostwin, Fr. Franciszek Okroy, Lillian Ozezewska, Adele Slavinsky, Henry P. Struginski, and Loretta Struzinski, came together to form the Polish Heritage Association of Maryland. Their objectives were threefold:
• To preserve and illuminate our Polish heritage and its freedom-oriented spirit
• To present the intellectual, artistic and scientific content of this heritage to the pluralist American society and thus enrich both
• To contribute to the general quality of life and welfare of the Americans of Polish descent in the State of Maryland. Renew or start your membership today!

42 years ago today, on 19 October 1984, three Security Service officers kidnapped and murdered Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, a defiant Polish priest, one of the chaplains of the “Solidarity” movement, an icon of the anti-communist resistance and a beatified martyr.
Communist Security Officers Murdered Father Jerzy Popiełuszko - The Priest Who Refused to Be Silenced
Father Jerzy's tongue was crushed. One of the security service members said that "he won't bark anymore". Perhaps it was more of a symbol - to kill a priest who preached the truth is like killing the truth itself.

Members of the Polish Heritage Association of Maryland had another busy weekend celebrating Polish culture. Being a cosponsor of Polish Home Club's dual dinner dance for Polish Heritage month plus the traditional Beanpickers' dance, members occupied a table-full plus. In addition to dance music by Steve Lesniewski's JOY, entertainment was provided by the folk ensemble Ojczyzna presenting a suite of dances ending with them leading the audience in a grand Polonez around the ballroom.
In conjunction with the Beanpickers' dance, PHAM promoted sales of Tom Hollowak's book, "Picking, Packing, and Shucking - the Migrant Experience of Baltimore's Polish Community". Tom was a longtime member of PHAM and a respected Archivist and historian. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to a PHAM scholarship in Tom's memory.

🥟 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗶 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🥟

Every family has their own tradition. Is your ultimate joy Babci sweet cheese pierogi? Do you wait all year for fresh blueberry pierogi in the summer? Or maybe you lean toward wild mushrooms and sauerkraut? We have one member who still dreams about the goose pierogi with pomegranate sauce from Mamaison in Warsaw last summer. Another swears the one's from Little Donna's in Upper Fell's Point are the best he ever had!

We want to know: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗶? (and feel free to add your family secrets, if you’re willing to share!) in the comments below!

Here is a letter shared by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington, DC responding to recent comments by Tucker Carlson.

Mr. Klich has personal comments about this issue:

"I cannot remain silent when a prominent American commentator suggests that Hi**er had reasons to invade Poland on September 1, 1939. The Third Reich's aggression against our country was not a "justified response." It started a war and opened one of the most tragic chapters in human history.

Therefore, I have addressed an open letter to Tucker Carlson, in which I call on him to publicly retract his words and apologize.

I demand that he retract his words, which are a colossal insult to the millions of victims of Na**sm. They are also an insult to the memory of American soldiers who fought and died liberating Europe from N**i terror.

There is no consent to rewriting history.

The truth about World War II is non-negotiable."....
"Nie mogę milczeć, kiedy rozpoznawalny amerykański komentator sugeruje, że Hi**er miał powody, by napaść na Polskę 1 września 1939 roku. Agresja III Rzeszy na nasz kraj nie była żadną „uzasadnioną reakcją”. Była rozpoczęciem wojny i otworzyła jeden z najtragiczniejszych rozdziałów w historii ludzkości.

Dlatego skierowałem do Tuckera Carlsona list otwarty, w którym wzywam go do publicznego wycofania swoich słów i przeproszenia.

Żądam wycofania słów, które są kolosalną zniewagą dla milionów ofiar nazizmu. Są także zniewagą dla pamięci amerykańskich żołnierzy, którzy walczyli i ginęli, wyzwalając Europę spod nazistowskiego terroru.

Nie ma zgody na przepisywanie historii.
Prawda o II wojnie światowej nie podlega negocjacjom."
