Most teachers and educators who are among young people realize their vocation, probably wondering what the future will be their wards. Does life give you advice? Will use knowledge and advice that they provide parents and the school? Will they just good people, valuable, socially sensitive, who communicate the value of vaccinated them in their youth to future generations? Before these questions are the Salesians. I still need to explore effective ways to effectively address the educational thought St. John Bosco in the modern world. Kind of confirmation of the thesis that the program of education, Fr. Bosco, is a proposition for a young man who brings in the life of the intended effects are stories Life Salesian alumni who were able, as he wanted Fr. Bosco, "to be righteous citizens and good Christians." Indeed, in pantheon of saints of the Salesian Family is so many young people, from the first ward Dominic Savio elevated to the altars of the Ceferino Namuncurá, elevated to the altars of 11 November 2007
Polish students among the saints and blessed the Salesian Family represents the "Poznan Five." Pupils Poznan oratory during the last war, testified faithfulness to God and the Church. During the agonizing way, sentenced to death for clandestine activities of the National Combat Organization, enjoy the fruits of religious education enhanced by the involvement of the Salesian youth groups. They hung a picture of St purposes. John Bosco, died giving his life in the hands of Mary Help of Christians. Similar forms were available. Polish youth has passed the examination of patriotism. Salesian alumni died in the Katyn, fought in the Warsaw Uprising, led underground activities in the Grey Ranks and Army. The challenge for family historians Salesian is an attempt to find the archival documents of the life history of these beautiful, young people and to tell her again, to cheer the hearts of today's youth: that we live differently than the world teaches us that we be decent, that you have to love the Church and Fatherland, as taught by Fr. Bosco.
One of these forms, of which I would like to tell you today, is a young girl - Danuta Siedzikówna "Inka", who was a pupil of the school in the Salesian Sisters Różanystok. She came to my mind, class when he called Michael - chief of our "Bulletin", and said: "Jared write some text about our wychowankach. Choose someone who will fit into the main theme of the "Bulletin", which is prayer. " At first I thought of the "top five PUT", but after their story is well-known youth SWE, even by conferences on a pilgrimage, a record the band New Dey, a series of articles devoted to them in the "contact". And then I came to my mind she. It is not well known in our circles, although thanks to the historians Institute of National Remembrance, was released a few good articles that promote the character, as a model of patriotic attitude of the younger generation, which after years of terrible war, stood against the new occupiers - the Communists. I thought about it, when at a meeting of elected representatives of student driving a panel on the issue of patriotism ended Television Theatre performance - "Inka 1946. It ends with touching scene of executions Inka. She proceeded to the front of her confession. The last thing I did was to kiss the holy cross. Died with a prayer on his lips. In these moments, ending in such dramatic circumstances of life, his communist captors gave witness to the "citizen's right and good Christian." Therefore, listen to stories about a girl who, as you grow in the spiritual school, Fr. Bosco.
Danuta Siedzikówna się13 born September 1928 in a village near Głuszczewina multicultural town in the Region. Attended primary school in Olchowce, then continued teaching at the school in the Salesian Sisters Różanystok near Grodno. During the war, her whole family was involved in underground activities. Father in 1939 was deported to the Soviet Union. In 1941, he managed to get to the Anders Army, which set out on the trail of fire. But the strained health in Siberia did not allow him to fight for a free Poland in military ranks. He died of exhaustion in Tehran. Danuta's mother was shot by the Gestapo in 1943 for supporting the underground. After this event, the two oldest Siedzikówny: Wieslaw and Danka joined the ranks of the Army, where he served as orderlies and messengers.
In December 1943, aged 15 years Danka and his sister were sworn Wiesia. In the hands of the commander made a vow: "In the face of God Almighty and the Virgin Mary, Queen of the Polish Crown, put his hands on the Holy Cross, the sign of the Passion and Salvation, and I swear to be faithful to my homeland, the Republic of Polish, stand steadfastly on guard her honor and Its liberation from slavery to fight with all our strength - even to the sacrifice of my life. President of the Polish Republic and the orders of the Commander in Chief and designated its Army Commanders will strictly obey a mystery steadfastly been observed whatever it took to meet me. So I God help .... " Words uttered oath remained faithful to the end ...
In May 1945, "Inka" was arrested by secret police officers, together with all employees superintendence Narewka in Podlasie. The convoy with the arrested but was attacked by Army soldiers, and so Danusia got into the major branches of the famous Sigmund Szendzielarz "Lupaszka, who commanded five Vilnius Brigade Army. In winter, under a different name attended the school in the spring of 1946, faced with a squad to fight again, this time in Pomerania. "Łupaszko" followed with his soldiers there in the wake of the repatriates from Vilnius. "Inka" in this period took part in skirmishes with the troops and in actions of sabotage MO directed against the new occupiers. In July 1946 she went to Gdansk with an order to purchase maps and medicines. She was arrested in a clandestine apartment in Gdansk Langfuhr, where with my friends from Vilnius conspiracy sang partisan songs. It turned out that fell through treachery another girl associated with the branches' Lupaszka.
From now on, events unfolded rapidly. Began an investigation in which the accused less than 18 years, "Inke" of criminal activity in the forest bands. " It appeared absurd claims, like such as a nurse that she was giving orders (sic) making murder in the officers MO. On the pages of newspapers Gdansk Diary Baltic "defamatory article appeared in the girl, for example, titled" Bloody Inka, "a girl of eighteen executioner" and others. During the hearings girl tortured and mentally Ill, although this has not provided any of the known addresses of the conspiracy or any of the branch in which served. During the investigation, substituted or false witnesses to her alleged crimes. In most of whom were police officers and ubowcy. The bogus process that took place for 14 days after his arrest, was sentenced "Inke" the death penalty.
waited on the enforcement of the sentence in solitary confinement. She was offered to write a letter asking for pardon to the President Bierut. She replied that "communist president, the Gestapo and the NKVD agent, for nothing will not ask. " The letter wrote her back, but Bierut has not exercised the prerogative of mercy. During those hours of waiting for the enforcement of the sentence authorized for the coming of the priest with sacramental ministry. It was Fr. Marian Prusak (until recently lived and lived as a pensioner in the Salesian parish in Rumi). He recalled a lifetime impression it had on him by his attitude, "Inka". Struck with the dignity, the belief that it is doing so well, that there are values \u200b\u200bfor which not only worth living, but worth giving life. Girl God entrusted the whole her story of life in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. She asked a priest to hand over her grandmother that "behaved as it should be." Was shot on August 28, 1946 until today has not been found of her burial.
One of the IPN historians - Szubarczyk Peter, who is a tireless promoter, "Inca" among young people, wrote in one of the publications that "Danka Siedzikówna overcome youth and desire to live in order to be faithful." Exalted principles of Allegiance from the family home, with the spiritual school, Fr. Bosco can from this young girl we all learn. Especially in a time when loyalty to Christian principles and teachings of Jesus is so difficult.
