Jonathan
Kołodziej
Durand will be
in Ottawa for
a screening of
his film,
“Memory is Our
Homeland” on
April 13. It
is a must for
anyone
interested in
the history of
defeated,
betrayed
countries,
nations whose
conquerors
were
determined to
erase their
history.
Jonathan’s
grandmother
was from
Poland, a
country
attacked by
Nazi Germany
and Soviet
Russia during
WWII; the
country
survived but
much changed.
Mass murder,
deportations
and cultural
destruction,
followed by
more post-war
population
transfers, all
took their
toll. But
memory has a
way of
surviving even
the most
powerful
aggressors.
Remnants of
memories,
gathered and
shared help us
to understand
our history
“writ large,”
as Tony
Muszynski put
it in our
conversation
today. Tony
and I share a
passion for
that history,
both the
remnants and
the writ
large. He just
found a new
book by a
geologist in
British
Columbia, Paul
Wojdak,
“Escape from
Siberia,
Escape
from
Memory: An
Odyssey Across
Two Oceans
& Nine
Countries to
Arrive
Home.” I
have ordered
it but
meanwhile,
here is an
excerpt from
Wojdak’s book
about Durand.
