MARIA CIESLA: PMA President, Maria Ciesla, a seven year survivor of early stage ovarian cancer, was honored at the 10th annual National Ovarian Cancer Coalition Conference (NOCC) held in Silver Spring, MD for her ovarian cancer awareness work and for serving as Past National President of NOCC for 2 years.
Her lecture will focus on why the Silesian groups emigrated from Poland in the 1850s, conditions in Texas when the immigrants arrived, what their lives were like during the initial years, the surprising challenges they had to overcome and will conclude with the Polish immigrants’ involvement in the America Civil War.
Much of the matrerial presented is taken from immigrants’ diaries and letters they wrote to relatives who remained in Poland, in which they described their lives in the New World, therefore a realistic insight into the development of Panna Maria and nearby communities will be presented, rather than conjecture.

 The Jew in Polish and Russian Literatures: SR, January 2002
In some cases, as with Orzeszkowa, Swietochowski, and Junosza, their Jewish characters are primarily shtetl Jews, poor, pious, colorful, and by and large compassionately conceived.
Such writers as Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Klemens Junosza, Aleksander Swietochowski, Adam Szymanski, and Maria Konopnicka seemed content to portray Jewish life as they perceived it without bias and without the reformist missionary zeal of a Niemcewicz or Orzeszkowa.
In his novel Zyd (The Jew, 1866), which is set during the January Uprising of 1863, Kraszewski, a master of historical fiction, drew the portrait of a secular but faithful Jew who is at the same time an ardent Polish patriot.
