‘INKA’ IN THE PATRIOTIC KRAKOWSKI PARK IM. DRA HENRYK JORDAN
The effort of Kazimierz Cholewa, the patriotic president of the Dr. Henryk Jordan Kraków Park present – on Sunday, September 16, 2012, another bust was unveiled, “Inki”, the 17-year-old Danuta Kodkówna.
“I feel sad that I gotta die. Tell my grandma that I did the right thing" were the last farewell words of 17-year-old Danuta Kodukina, ps. “Inka” murdered by communist torturers in August 1946 in a Gdańsk prison at 12 Kurkowa Street.
After nearly sixty years, Poles learned the fact about this beautiful figure sentenced by communists – just like another soldiers of the anti-communist Underground – to oblivion.”
Paradoxically, only at the time of her death did she regain the freedom she dreamed of. Before the echo of the firing squad burst, the last U.K. rocket was extinguishing light. Her life “and already the host of angels surrounded her, from her heart all the death of fear has vanished,
The Queen of Poland closed her eyes, Her free soul has failed to God.” The past of “Inka” became loud throughout Poland thanks to many publications of employees of Gdańsk IPN, articles in the press and publications in another media.
Also a loud performance “Inka 1946 – I am 1 to die” took a crucial part in reminding Danusi Kodkówny.
The fact about this shameful, skilfully hidden by communist murderers on a young orderly of the 5th Vilnius National Army Brigade shook public opinion.
Many young people, after learning about the "Inca" biography, possibly for the first time in their life, asked themselves what is truly the meaning of their existence and received a pattern of how to live, to always behave dignifiedly.
Life's steadfastness and heroic attitude during a dense investigation in the UB casamats made the character "Inka" a symbol for many generations of Poles today, especially for those who survived the horrors of 3 successive occupations – Soviet, German and again Soviet.
The interest in the character Danuta Kodkówna has been increasing in fresh years, besides due to the tragic past of her life.
The "Inka" was a noble, different and symbolic figure. She remained “to the end” faithful to her homeland, honor and oath, she did not break down in the investigation, she simply behaved properly.
Her immaculate, holy figure almost has a peculiar unifying power of many Poles and the evidence of her life is the origin of the spiritual revival of many people.
The steadfast attitude and heroism give her an eternal place in the Pantheon of National Heroes.
What is so interesting about this young girl that makes so many, especially young people, curious in the past of her life?
Undoubtedly, her past fascinates so many people, due to the fact that we are dealing with a uncommon case in real life of encountering the absolute good, which Danusus embodies with absolute, even clinical evil, represented by all communist oppressors, ubeks and communists who indirectly or straight contributed to her death.
In this clash of 2 systems of values, the absolute good yet prevailed, the fact came out, and those who wanted to hide it yet lost, showing themselves to be moral pitiful and average villains, condemning themselves in life to eternal shame and infamy.
Although the totalitarian strategy went back to the past, there are inactive many people in Poland who are reluctant to know the actual past of their homeland, indifferent to its fate, for whom the clock stopped in the times of the Polish People's Republic.
Worse still, many people who consider themselves Poles, in a word or in an act dishonor the memory of our national heroes and spit on the Homeland.
Probably for years in which they utilized the criminal russian government irreparably changed the state of their minds and hearts, they no longer know how to think in Polish.
The inhuman strategy has fallen, but the generation of Janczars he raised is inactive alive and harming his homeland. There are many signs of optimism. At a time of widespread decline of values and ideals, erstwhile it is told to the public that 1 nonsubjective fact does not exist, there is inactive a large group of people in Poland who are faithful to the truth, bound to freedom, not subject to lying propaganda sipped in various media by people of weak spirit, traitors and enemies of the Homeland.
They say and act as a weapon against the disgrace of the memory of national heroes, do not let a cruel crime on a young paramedic and many akin to it to be lost in the abyss of human oblivion.
They're just acting right. Many Poles prove with their regular attitude that they deserve the honorary name of worthy heirs of the tradition of Cursed Soldiers, free and independent Poland inactive lives in their hearts and will never die.
These people do a lot so that their native and abroad enemies do not rewrite the lying, politically correct past of our Homeland.
None of the ‘investigators’, prosecutors, judges or performers of the ‘Ince’ judgement have yet suffered penalties.
The helplessness of the Polish judiciary in this and akin matters is truly amazing. It seems that “murderers in toga” will escape the earthly justice system.
But then “they will face the Angel who was erstwhile a Soldier of Underground Poland and will gotta look him in the eye...
‘ We Poles, who are costly with values specified as honor, dignity and fidelity, will never forget Danusi Kodkówn.
We will proceed to fight for Poland as clean as a tear, as “Inka” dreamed. We will always keep the memory of the heroine, who stood firm against the enslavement of Poland, does not agree that the barbarians turn national sanctuaries into public houses, warehouses, pigs and stables.
She fought not only for hers, but besides for our freedom. For this worthy attitude, we of present are They owe her prayer, memory and respect.
Against the lies of the world, we will implement the will of the ideo Danusi Kodakina. She gave us an example that it's not so hard – it's always adequate to act the right way.
Danuta Kodkówna was born on 3 September 1928 in the village of Guszczewina, Podlasie, in the territory of Bielsk Podlaski until 1939.
Her father was a forester in Olchówka close Narawki. The childhood and period of early youth of Danusi Kodkówny were closely related to the beautiful Podlasie land. Here she placed her first life steps under her mother's eyes, here her love for her Homeland was formed.
“Here she spent her carefree childhood, Here her parent whispered in her prayers: Daughter, Podlasie – these are rags of Polish land,
Whose heart size must be measured." Podlasie is simply a land of milk and honey flowing, indigenously Polish. The inhabitants of this land are celebrated for their patriotism and love of freedom, they have repeatedly in past provided evidence of their attachment to these traditions.
In the Podlasie area, there have been many fights against invaders coming from the east, but besides from the west of Europe.
The beautiful card was recorded by the inhabitants of Białystok during the November and January Uprisings.
In 1863 many insurgent troops fought in the vicinity of the Białowieża Forest. The place of birth of Danusi Kodakyn, the village of Guszczewina, administratively now belongs to the Podlaskie Voivodeship, the territory of Hajnowski.
It lies on the edge of the Białowieża Forest. The seat of the municipality is Narewka. Between 1975 and 1998, Guszczewina was located in the Białystok Voivodeship.
The municipality of Narewka is the south-eastern part of the Podlaskie Voivodeship. The state border separates it from Belarus from the east. In the northern part of the municipality is the Siemianówka reservoir, which is simply a major tourist attraction. The seat of the municipality, the village of Narewka lies on a river of the same name, close Hajnówka, on the outskirts of Białowieża National Park.
In the early 19th century, Narewka was a township that had regularly designated streets, marketplace and post station. A period of childhood passed by Danuta Kodkównie in the household Olchowka, in which she lived until 1939.
She grew up in a household with established patriotic traditions. The seats were a typical noble household from Podlasie.
In the family, large importance was given to patriotic traditions and children's education. Danusi's father, Wacław studied in St. Petersburg. As a nineteen-year-old student, he was sent to Siberia in 1913 for his activities in the independency conspiracy.
He returned to Poland only in 1926, after 13 years of exile, utilizing papers of the deceased boy of Polish exiles.
He became a forester in Olchowka close Narewka, where the full household moved.
Danusi's parent was Eugenia of Tymiński, related to the household of Piotr Peanut, husband of author Eliza Peanut. Daniusza Kodakina was 1 of 3 siblings, she had a sister Irenka 3 years younger, and a year older Wieścia, with whom she was very connected.
Until 1939, she studied at the general school in Olchowka, and during the war at the Salesians' school in Różanystok close Grodna. Only eleven years lived in free Poland.
Long adequate to learn faithfulness, loyalty, love freedom and fact beyond life.
Wiesław's eldest sister assessed the years of her childhood spent in a forest home close Narewka as a blessed period, giving strength for further years of hard life.
In 1939, the happy childhood of Danuta Kodkówna was destroyed overnight, planet War II broke out. Polish lands were torn between 2 occupiers. Podlasie initially found itself in the russian sphere of influence, in 1941 Germans entered the area, and in 1944 the occupiers again appeared from the sinister sign of the sickle and hammer.
Marshal Rydz Śmigły said specified crucial words that characterize fresh occupiers: “Germany annihilates us physically, that is not enough, they want to destruct Polish souls.”
The tragic destiny of the household was influenced by Danuta Kodakina's life path. Danusia grew up in an atmosphere of stories about the cruelty of exile and the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.
Patriotism and a sense of love for the Homeland came out of the house, and they resulted mainly from a sense of decency and faithfulness to values specified as loyalty, honesty, truth.
The russian business was strange. In authoritative propaganda it was called liberation, while it was average aggression. The pacifications, rapes, tortures, murders and plunders are called “brotherly help”.
Many Poles, especially those who did not experience russian “liberation” on their own, believed this false propaganda, which has been soaked for years.
These people were taken from souls.
Danuta Kodakina's parent was an active associate of the Home Army, she was part of the AK field grid in Podlasie.
For her engagement in the conspiracy, she was arrested by the Germans in November 1942 and after a dense investigation and torture, murdered in September 1943 in a forest close Białystok.
Danusia last saw her parent in a prison infirmary in Białystok, badly massacred.
Inka was only 15 at the time.
The grave of the murdered parent never found. Eugenia's prison seat revealed that she was able to identify the people who caused her arrest.
They belonged to the Belarusian Committee of Narewka working with Germany. In 1 of the last flups sent to the girls from prison, Danusi's parent wrote:
"Girls, leave vengeance to God."
Perhaps she felt something and wanted to defend her daughter from further tragedies. In February 1940, after the Russian business of east Poland, Danuta Kodakina's father was sent back by the NKWD to the east, close Krasnojarsk.
The Łagry left after a year, thanks to the Sikorski-Stalin agreement, enlisting in the army of General Władysław Anders.
Even though he was only 50, he was already a wreck. He died in Iran, shortly after leaving Russia by the army of Wladyslaw Anders, due to severe experiences and mediocre health.
His grave, which is located in the Polish cemetery in Tehran, has remained until today. After the death of her parents, Inka, Irena and Wiesi were taken care of by her grandmother.
Following Danus' parents' trail, she engaged in conspiracy activities, initially fought in the Home Army against Germany, then against Soviets and local collaborators building the foundations of a fresh totalitarian strategy in Poland.
Her older sister Wiesława besides joined the conspiracy. After the Gestapo murdered her mother, she joined the AK with Sister Wiesława (she swore an oath in December 1943 or early 1944), where she had held medical training.
After crossing the front, she took up the work of a law firm in Hajnówka's forestry. Together with another forestry workers, she was arrested in June 1945 for co-operation with the anti-communist underground by the NKWD-UB group (acting on the orders of deputy head of WUBP in Białystok, Elijah Koton).
She was released from the convoy by the Vilnius-based patrol of the AK Stanisław Wolonciej “Konus” (sub-commanded “Łupaszki”), then as a paramedic she took up service in the “Konus” branch and then in the squadrons of Lieutenant Jan Mazur “Piast” and Lieutenant Marian Pluciński “Mścisław”.
For a short time, her superior was besides Lieutenant Leon Beynar “Nowina”, deputy “Łupaszki”, later known as Paweł Jasienica.
Danuta Kodukna took the nickname “Inka”. At the turn of 1945/1946, she was supplied with papers under the name Danuta Obuchowicz, and took up work in Miłomłyn Forestry in Ostródzki County.
In early spring 1946, she made contact with Lieutenant Zdzisław Badocha "Żelazny", commander of 1 of the squadrons "Łupaszki". After the death of “Zelazny”, killed during the UB raid on 24 June 1946, she was sent by his successor, Lieutenant Olgard Christa “Leszka” for medical supplies to Gdańsk and there arrested by UB on 20 July 1946, and then placed in the pavilion
V prison in Gdańsk as a peculiar prisoner.
In the investigation (directed by the Chief of Division III of the WUBP in Gdańsk Jan Wołkow and the Head of Investigation of WUBP Józef Bik) she was beaten and humiliated; nevertheless she refused to give evidence incriminating members of the Vilnius AK Brigade.
She was sentenced to death on August 21 by a court headed by
Major Adam Gajewski and shot by the commander of the firing squad of Lt. Franciszek Sawicki on 28 August 1946, along with Felix Selmanovich ps. “Zagończyk”, in a prison close
Kurkowa Street in Gdańsk.
According to the study of the forced witness of execution, Fr Marian Prusak, the last words of “Inki” were: “Long live Poland! Long live “Luck”!
The burial site is unknown. The prosecution was completely absurd.
Ince was accused of individual engagement in the shooting of UB and MO officers during a clash close the village of Podjazy with the “Łupaszki” branch, and even giving orders, even though she was only an orderly of the branch.
Even her age (she was a minor) was not considered. Divergences in its participation in the clash between guerrillas and UB and MO appeared in the evidence of the militia themselves.
Some testified that Inka was shooting and giving orders that others were not. 1 of the militia even admitted that Inka had given him first aid erstwhile he was wounded.
Eventually, even the Stalinist court found Inka not straight active in the killings.
Still, he gave her the death penalty. The papers preserved in the IPN archive contain the "Request for Grace" to the "Citizen of the President", or Bolesław Bierut, written on 3 August 1946.
It was edited by the “Inka” defender of the office, Jan Chmielowski.
It is written in the first individual ("I, Danuta Sit).
However, it was not signed by ‘Inka’, but by Chmielowski. “Inka” refused due to the fact that in the text Chmielowski wrote about her colleagues from the branch as “a band”.
"Tell my grandma I'll behave like the need"
In a griffin to the Mikołajewski sisters from Gdańsk, shortly before her death, “Inka” wrote: “Tell my grandma that I behaved properly.”
After her parents died, her grandma was peculiarly close to her, taking care of her sisters: Wiesia and Irenka. The IPN prosecutors brought the erstwhile military prosecutor Wacław Krzyżanowski (who accused “Inka” and demanded the death punishment for her), accusing him of participating in a communist judicial crime; however, he was acquitted in the court of the Second Instance. Despite his conviction on the seat, he inactive hasn't been convicted.
Here is simply a photograph study from the ceremony by Dr. Józef Wieczorek:
Dear and dear Mr. Kazimierz Cholewa, for the memory of outstanding Poles we thank you.
