The exhibition dedicated to the Moszoro family, was carefully prepared by the Institute of National Remembrance as a part of the Archive Full of Memory project under the leadership of the director Marzena Kruk. The interesting exhibits are
complemented by a wonderful arrangement by Jarosław Kłaput, as always. This unique event in Warsaw was attended by three generations of the Moszoros family, mainly from Argentina, led by brothers Antoni, Bartłomiej and priest living in Poland. Stefan Moszoro-Dąbrowski. Welcomes and words about the exhibition were delivered by the president of the Institute of National Remembrance – Dr. Karol Nawrocki, the host of the place – the director of the Independence Museum – Dr. Tadeusz Skoczek, the Ambassador of the Republic of Argentina in Poland – Alicia Irene Falkowski and the main curator of the exhibition Marzena Kruk, who finally thanked everyone involved in the creation of the exhibition , also the Polish Armenian Culture and Heritage Foundation for providing access to materials from the APO resources. We also listened to an extremely moving statement by the representative of the Family, Bartłomiej Moszoro – Honorary Consul of Poland in Argentina, who repeated his statement in Spanish for the large family who came from Argentina.There was also an artistic part – we could listen to musical pieces that referred to the family’s Lviv roots, to the Argentinian sounds of Astor Piazzolla’s tango. Then there was a collective opening of the door leading to the exhibition itself, which consisted of a lot of family souvenirs, including those donated by the family to the Institute of National Remembrance. An interesting exhibition, showing the extraordinary, sometimes tragic fate of the family, the cultivation of Polishness and traditions worth the highest recognition – it is worth visiting this exhibition, we recommend it! Yesterday’s ceremony continues today at the headquarters of the Polish Armenian Culture and Heritage Foundation. Representatives of the Moszoro family visited the Treasury of Polish Armenians and became acquainted with the museum exhibition with great interest. They asked about details related to history, migration and the preservation of the Armenian language by Polish Armenians. The temporary exhibition full of private souvenirs aroused great interest. It was even closer to our guests because members of their family followed similar trails to that of our hero Zachariasz Gregorowicz.
