“1920. THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE” in Milwaukee!!!

The Wisconsin Polish American Congress would like to invite you to the Milwaukee Premiere of “1920” on March 5th at 7 pm at the UWM Union Theater

“1920. THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE” is a Polish mega-production about one of the world’s most important battles which saved Europe from a global communist revolution.

The film focuses on the 1920 clash between powerful Red Army and soldiers of newly reborn Poland resulted in a repulsion of Bolsheviks from the gates of Warsaw. The heroic effort of Poles led by Marshal Józef Piłsudski defeated Soviets in the battle which shattered Lenin’s dreams of conquering all Continent and introducing communism to the world.

It is a picturesque epic story of love in the time of war with a very simple plot, in which fictional characters intertwine with great historical figures: Pilsudski, Petlura, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. The action reflects a participation of daring American pilots from the Kosciuszko Squadron as well as an important role of the Ukrainian troops.

Wesołych Świąt !!!

Aby wszystkie dni w roku były tak piękne i szczęśliwe, jak ten jeden
wigilijny wieczór
Aby Wasze twarze i twarze Waszych najbliższych zawsze rozpromieniał
uśmiech, a gwiazda Betlejemska prowadziła Was ku dobremu
Kiedy już świąteczny stół się ugina, kiedy śpiewa kolędy cała rodzina
A na niebie pierwsza gwiazdka już świeci
Niech Ci bogaty Mikołaj dużym oknem wleci…
Zaśpiewajmy “Wśród nocnej ciszy głos się rozchodzi.
