| | uExpress.com: Georgie Anne Geyer by Georgie Anne Geyer -- (02/04/2005) CONSIDERING THE THOUGHTFUL LIFE OF JAN NOWAK |
 | | The story of Jan's life, which ended when he died in his native Warsaw at the end of January, was one, perhaps more than any other Pole in living history, forged through webs of intelligence, reason, courage, vision, stubbornness and a sense of history. |
 | | Carrying poison to use in case of capture, Jan warned the resistance that Poland would be betrayed by its allies -- but it was too late, and 30,000 Poles were killed in the ensuing uprising while the Soviet armies stood by, watching. |
 | | After spending decades of his life "on the run," Jan Nowak was buried two weeks ago in a solemn Mass in the restored Warsaw cathedral in an independent Poland. |
