The book-album contains 210 biographies and 300 photos of prominent Poles in Canada, including military men, Siberian-exiles, scientists, social activists, priests, people of culture and art. These Poles chose not to return to communist Poland after the end of World War II, instead choosing freedom in Canada, and now, rest on Canadian soil. Through this album, we wish to perpetuate the memory of our predecessors. We would like them to be remembered during various Polish-Canadian celebrations, so that candles are lit on their graves, which are often neglected and abandoned. The Light of Remembrance is lit in their hearts, so that they are taken care of by Polish youth with constant care as the most precious testimonies of Polish independence, the heritage and culture of Poland, Canada and the Polish Diaspora.
