Sydney Morning Herald

Tuesday November 6, 1990

SIR: On the 51st anniversary of the arrest by the Gestapo of the staff of the Krakow universities, including 21 professors of our Academy of Mining and Metallurgy, which took place on November 6, 1939, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your condemnation of that action expressed in the articles published on January 27, 1940, February 14, 1940 and April 4, 1940.

We assure you that your condemnation of the barbarity will never be forgotten in Poland.

Remembering that "verba volant, scripta manent", we would like to express our feelings so that similarly disgraceful deeds will never be repeated.

Waclaw Leskiewicz and Jan Janowski,

Association of Combatants,

Krakow,

Poland.

October 11
