There is a real possibility that the one of the most popular Polish entertainers Michal Wisniewski with the band "Ich Troje" will perform in San Francisco. The planned date is February 12, 2006, Sunday night.

The US organizer asked PoloniaSF.org to poll the Polish American community to find out if there will be enough interest to make it cost effective. The band would come with musicians, dancers and minimal technical staff to manage stage equipment the band is travelling with. The ticket price is set as general admission $35 per person and $50 for first few rows of seats. The seating is on first come first serve basis. Please, if you want to make sure this performance will happen, write email to: ichtrojeusa2006@yahoo.com with number of tickets you are reserving for the event. Please do it as soon as you can, email now.

Details will follow on www.PoloniaSF.org

Jest to bardzo proste.
Osoba zainteresowana pisze email do: o.warszawa@ipn.gov.pl z prosba o zaswiadczenie z powodu zbieznosci nazwiska i imienia z lista Wildsteina. Podac nalezy pelne dane osobowe: imiona, nazwisko, date i miejsce urodzenia, imiona rodzicow. Jak sie poda nazwisko panienskie matki to w przypadku publikacji przez IPN na internecie moga zaciemnic to nazwisko. IPN wszystkie dane sprawdzi i przysle zaswiadczenie poczta. Mozna rowniez pisemnie poprosic o umieszczenie zaswiadczenia na stronach IPN. Przyklad: http://www.ipn.bip.net.pl/?a=577

Merkel to Prioritize Expellee Center
Merkel's stated commitment to the planned Center Against Expulsions in Berlin comes as a stark contrast to the resistance demonstrated by Gerhard Schröder and his Social Democratic coalition towards the project.
