Remembering the start of WWII

Inka
Inka- Danuta Siedzikowna

During this program, we take you back to September 1, 1939, the beginning of World War II, when the Germans and Soviets invaded Poland. Many people lost their lives during the war-time effort. However, we would like to focus on a special Polish heroine. Her name was  Danuta Siedzikówna, her underground name:  Inka, a Polish national heroine. Born 3 September 1928,  Guszczewina – died 28 August 1946,  Gdańsk) was a medical orderly in the 4th Squadron (created in the Białystok area) of the 5th  Wilno Brigade of the  Polish  Home Army. In 1946 she served with the Brigade's 1st Squadron in Poland's  Pomorze (Pomerania) region.

 We begin our program with a special song dedicated to Inka - Hymn Inki- sung by Alicja Wegorzewska- mezzo soprano. Music- Bogdan Kierejsza
