In just a few short years, the south side congregations at St. Stanislaus and St. Hyacinth could not accommodate the growing number of Polish Catholics seeking to worship. Father Gulski decided to divide his St. Hyacinth parish and began efforts to organize a fourth Polish parish in Milwaukee.

The year 2020 marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The United Kingdom remembers the contribution of 145 Polish airmen, who fought shoulder to shoulder with the Allies against Germany.

Never has any Polish commander's sculpture made it into a British museum. This can change thanks to the Polish community. The National Army Museum in London has expressed a desire to exhibit a bust of one of the greatest Polish heroes - General Władysław Anders.

That summer (1939) was important and a breakthrough for scout Leonard Jędrzejczak. He graduated from middle school and was about to start high school after the summer holidays. He performed the function of a camp guard at a scout camp near Kościerzyna. He had his first love and his first kiss. On August 6, together with a few colleagues from Bydgoszcz, he went to the Military Training Camp in Myszyniec.

The skies over Great Britain on 15 September 1940, exactly 80 years ago, saw one of the largest aerial battles in history. The day, now known as the Battle of Britain Day, is when the German air force, the formidable and so far undefeated Luftwaffe, conducted its largest and the most concentrated attacks against London

The World Trade Center 1 and 2 skyscrapers were built in the years 1968 - 1971. They were about 415 meters high. Additionally, a 109-meter antenna mast was installed on the roof of skyscraper # 1. The architect of both buildings was Minoru Yamasaki and the New York-based company Emery Roth, and the owners - the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Today they are veterans, that’s all they've got left. That September, they were young men even teenagers. Today, Kuryer Polski tries to recreate their unexpectedly tragic days. In the memoirs of veterans and Polish community activists in Milwaukee, they are preserved in the pages of the books of which they are heroes.

The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the victorious Battle of Warsaw is still ongoing. We defended not only our own country, but also the European Latin civilization.

September 1 is a significant date in Polish and, indeed, world history. Although the occasion of the official launch of the re-born Kuryer Polski in 2020 will hopefully prove significant eventually, it is the memory of 1939 that is intrinsically coupled with this day in the mind of every Pole. It is the day the Second World War started with numerous German attacks on Polish-held territory.
