16 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЖОВТЕНЬ 2010 UNWLA President Marianna Zajac presenting report on the accomplishments of UNWLA at WFUWO 2010 conference . _____________________________________ __________________ Polish government bureaucracy for permission to erect this memorial. According to her son, with whom I was able to converse, Mrs. Fil passed away in November, 2009 — two weeks after receiving the documentation finally granting her request . Her work was done, her mission accomplished. As WFUWO delegates, Kateryna Sirotska, the President of the Ukrainian Women’s League of Poland, and I placed a wreath at the foot of the memorial in memory of these innocent villagers. Pani Evdokia was remembe red and her presence was hauntingly felt during this very somber occasion. The annual general meet ing of the World Congress of Ukrainians convened on August 22 – 23. It was the first WC U meeting held on European soil beyond Ukraine’s borders. More than 60 representatives from around the world partici - pated. Opening ceremonies were held on the premises of the “Narodnyi Dim” (People’s Home), which was built by the Ukrainian community of Peremyshl in 1904. Unfortunately, this building was expropriated from the Ukrainians following the Second World War during Operation “Wisla.” Peremyshl was chosen for this year’s meeting so that diaspora organizations could better acquaint themselves with, as well as build a stronger working relationship with, the Association o f Ukrainians in Poland. After behind - the - scenes meeti ngs between representatives of WC U , the Ukrainian community in Poland, and the Mayor of Peremyshl before the formal opening of this annual meeting, we were somewhat hopeful to hear the mayor personally p romise that the Narodnyi Dim would be returned to Poland’s Ukrainian community within the coming weeks. During the next two days, progress report s were delivered by members of WC U ’s Executive Committee as well as by representatives of WC U ’s national and in ternational member organizations. The reports delivered during the annual meeting are available in Uk rainian and can be accessed at WC U ’s Website: http://www.ukrainianworldcongress.org/RZZ2010/Zvity/Book2010.pdf. The UNWLA’s report appears on pages 263 – 266 . Once again, the roundtable format was used to encourage lively discussions. On Sunday, the topic was “Major is sues pertaining to Ukraine and WC U relations with Ukraine.” Opinions were strong, voices were raised, and suggested approaches to deal with the violations of human and national rights in Ukraine varied: protest, don’t protest, deal with the Ukrain ian government head on, ignore the Ukrainian government, etc. In the end, par tici - pants resolved that the WC U must continue to react to all violations of human and national rights and to further cooperate with non - governmental organizations and democratic forces to defend Ukraine’s democratic achieve - ments. _______________________________________ Maria Szkambara, President, World Federation of Ukrain ian Women's Organizations, and Marianna Zajac, President , UNWLA .
