The sign "Arbeit macht frei" found! The Polish police have arrested five men for the 18 Dec. 2009 heist and desecration of the sign "Arbeit macht frei" (Work Will Set You Free). It was made in 1940 by prisoners in the camp locksmith's shop. The main gate to the Auschwitz I-Main Camp was the only one in the whole Auschwitz complex to be built by Polish political prisoners under German orders. These were prisoners deported from Wiśnicz in one of the early transports, in late 1940 or early 1941. Letters It was made by prisoners in the metalworking labor detail headed by Jan Liwacz (camp number 1010). The prisoners deliberately reversed the letter "B" as a camouflaged mark of disobedience. Using the prisoner database on the Auchwitz Museum website < http://en.auschwitz.org.pl> we learn Jan was registered twice. Liwacz, Jan b.4.10.1898 (Dukla), camp serial number:1010, profession:kowal, remarks:przen. 1944 do KL Mauthausen, przez. The first entry has the Icon accompanying data from the Memorial Books - Transports of Poles from Cracow and other localities in Southern Poland to Auschwitz Concentration Camp Przen means survived; prenz means transferred Liwacz, Johann b.1898-10-04, camp serial number:1010 The second entry has the Icon accompanying data from the so-called Death Books The BBC reports that Jan Liwacz did survive the war. He was released from Mauthausen concentration camp in May 1945 and returned to Poland.

Suggestion. Google can be used to search for biographical information for him, his father, and his grandfather. Google translator can be used for pages in Polish. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=Kazimierz+Proszynski&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=Kazimierz+Proszynski&fp=52e8f388e5caca67 Upon determining his place of birth, search for records filmed by LDS. Should he be from the same town as your ancestors, you may be able to find a connection. Cursory glance at links indicates Warsaw as origin of this Proszynski family. Place search for Warsaw at LDS: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp Family History Center locations: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimierz_Pr%C3%B3szy%C5%84ski "He was the grandson of the photographer Stanisław Antoni Prószyński, who had been accused by Russians of placing patriotic symbols in the background of the photographs made in his atelier and was sentenced for that by the Tsarist Russia authorities. He was also the son of Konrad Prószyński, an active Polish educator, writer and publisher."

Good evening, Over the past few weeks I have been researching people who may be related to me. One person really seemed to stand out though. In Poland, there was a gentleman by the name of Kazimierz Proszynski (1875-1945), who was an inventor that perfected the motion picture camera at the turn of the 20th century. He appeared to be quite influential to the development of cinema, especially in Poland. Since I already discovered that my last name was originally spelled in the same way as his, I was naturally curious and now I am wondering if I could be related to this man. Does anyone know where I can find more information regarding Kazimierz's family tree, or could somebody send me information on his siblings, relatives, parents, etc.? I think it would be interesting to find a connection between his and my families, if that is possible.

I am constantly searching social databases looking for relatives in Europe. Last week a nice person that turns out not to be a relative suggested I try this site: www.nasza-klasa.pl I think it is sort of like classmates.com. It is in Polish but I used the Google translator and except for today I think I've been communicating ok. I've met a few very nice people. Some trying to be helpful and of course a couple did not answer my emails. I met a very nice older woman (my age - old). She does not speak English but we struggle along. I had written to her asking if she could be family. Unfortunately she is not but she did invite me to be in her family anyway and we have been exchanging emails since last week. I, personally think it is fun to email with people from other parts of the world. So the site may be worth a try if you are searching for relatives in Poland or even looking for a new email buddy in Poland. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to You All and a Big Thank You for all the help everyone has provided throughout the year. Lorraine
