Ted Opitz Commemorates Polish Independence Day
November 4th 2011. MP Ted Opitz spoke about Polish Independence Day that takes place on November 11th. Mr. Opitz’s parents were originally from Poland and immigrated to Canada shortly after WW2. During the war, Ted’s mother suffered in Nazi Germany as a forced labourer and his father served in the Polish 2nd Corps after being released by the Soviets as a prisoner of war in a gulag. Mr. Opitz understands the sacrifices made by the Polish people for the fight for freedom before, during, and after the Second World War. This year, as we celebrate Remembrance Day in Canada, and Poland celebrates its Independence Day, MP Ted Opitz encourages all people to remember soldiers who fought for their freedom, and ours.
