Marcin Chumiecki, Director of the Polish Mission of Orchard Lake Schools, invites the Jewish Genealogical Society of Michigan to campus. Chumiecki and Ceil Wendt Jensen, Genealogist, will present the holdings of the Association of Former Political Prisoners of German and Soviet Concentration Camps. Opened in 1990, the collection holds uniforms, documents [including signatures of Jewish students from Mlawa, Olkusz and other Polish towns, camp art, and memoirs of Displaced Persons who settled in Michigan]. These former Polish citizens were incarcerated in Auschwitz, Dachau, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen, and the Soviet Gulag. The artwork of Jan Komski is featured. Komski's artwork features both Jewish and Catholic inmates - he depicted both the Star of David and the red triangle with a black P which depicted political prisoners.

The first part of the lecture is in the handicap-accessible Adam Cardinal Maida Library and the second part of the lecture requires climbing several flights of stairs in the “Ark” Building.
