Poczta Polska does not forget about the heroes

Poczta Polska is a company that has been inseparably connected with the fate of our homeland for nearly five centuries. Postalists were witnesses and active participants in many important events, repeatedly giving an example of courage, sacrifice and tribute to patriotic values. Currently, by its philatelic and occasional publications, the post office reminds us of national heroes and important episodes of our history. The company also does not forget about the living participants and witnesses of important events, supporting them in many ways.

Poczta Polska is one of the companies that operate on the Polish market for the longest time. The centuries -old history of the national postal operator is a lens of native history. Postalists repeatedly stood on the side of national values ​​and took active part in freedom and independence uprisings. Commemorating the stories and our heroes - those who are widely known, as well as those whose merits in vain to be found in most textbooks are an important element of the mail mission.

- Mail is a really unique company. After 123 years of partitions, postalists contributed to the construction of a uniform state organism. The post office appeared in every corner of the reviving homeland. The postalists also gave the blood tribute during an unequal fight with the aggressor and independence uprisings - emphasizes Krzysztof Falkowski, president of Poczta Polska.

The Warsaw Uprising occupies a special place among historical events, which is cultivated by Poczta Polska. This exceptional libertarian uprising of the inhabitants of the capital proved the extraordinary courage and the involvement of the broad masses of the occupied city, and its participants were also many postcards. The company commemorated their participation in the Warsaw Uprising, publishing two historical albums "Forgotten History of Uprising Warsaw", in which it presents the silhouettes and stories of quiet heroes, which are not mentioned in scientific publications. Publishers were based on the archival materials of Poczta Polska and in cooperation with the Institute of National Remembrance.

Not only through the publications of the National Postal Operator promotes patriotic values ​​and honors people who have proved the noblest virtues. This year, Poczta Polska became the sole partner of the annual Christmas Eve for Warsaw Insurgents and their descendants, organized at the Warsaw Uprising Museum.

- It is our duty not only to remind about the history and its heroes, but also to take care of live witnesses and participants important for Poland. Knowledge and merits of veterans, as well as the heritage they brought into our history deserve the highest recognition and appreciation - emphasizes Krzysztof Falkowski.
