Ministry of the Society of Christ Fathers to Polish Migrants. |
The 20th century coming to its end, has been
a witness of the events which have diametrically changed and
are still changing the face of the world. One of these events,
that continues to take place, is the migration of people. It
arises as a characteristic of this age. |
Many reasons have affected it. Two world wars,
the presence of totalitarian rules, political, social and economic
crisis have played a great role in the enormous migration of
people. Migration has taken place within the borders of Europe,
but likewise, people emigrated from the old continent to both
North and South America, Australia and in part to Africa. In
the movement of large masses of people of Europe, Poles, have
also had their part. The deciding factor was and remains to
be the geopolitical placing of Poland.
Many sons and daughters of the nation, were physically forced
to emigrate. They were taken by force to Siberia. The reason
for it, was the totalitarian communist system, and the Yaltan
division of Europe after the second world war. |
