The holiday music course was established in Krzemieniec in 1928 on the initiative of Professor Bronisław Rutkowski from the State Conservatory of Music in Warsaw. The objective was to improve the qualifications of teachers working mainly in Volhynia. The idea was to facilitate coexistence of people of various nationalities and religions, and, above all, to improve their professional qualifications. The holiday music course was the most important course organised in Krzemieniec. Every year over two-hundred people underwent training there. One of those people was Aleksander Milewski, whose archive includes a number of documents and photographs illustrating the musical life in Krzemieniec. On the basis of this material the author has tried to establish what it meant for a provincial teacher to take part in such a course. Translated by Anna Kijak

What Maria Karasińska has left behind, is a short diary “Memories from Siberia” (May 1940 – May 1946). It tells the reader that she was born in Lviv on March 25, 1914 and wanted to be pianist. Having graduated from high school, she started learning singing and piano at the Lviv Conservatoire. The war interrupted her education, and in 1940 (more specifically, the night of 12/13 April) she was deported with her family to Kazakhstan, to the East Kazakhstan Region. Karasińska, who was frail and feeble, had to perform heavy physical work, such as carrying heavy wet peat. Despite a series of sad experiences, diseases and death of her relatives, she persevered. She returned to Poland in June 1946 and continued to learn singing at the age of 33. For twenty five years or so, she gave concerts as a soloist at the Mining Philharmonic, later renamed the Silesian Philharmonic. She died on August 15, 2005 in Zabrze. She is remembered as a highly popular and respected artist.

In his poem Haidamaky Taras Shevchenko presented a drastic picture of the Massacre of Uman, carried out by rebels led by Maksym Zal iznyak and Ivan Gonta, a picture which many Poles resented. He attributed an even greater responsibility to Russia, which drove Ukraine into captivity. In 1847 a pamphlet against Tsarina Alexandra Fedorovna was found when his home was searched and the poet was exiled to do military service at the Orenburg garrison. The exile changed many of his views. As an exile Shevchenko lived among a large group of Poles. They included Bronisław Zaleski, who became his friend. The two men’s close friendship softened Shevchenko’s views, despite the differences between them.
