As the anniversary speeches fade, it behooves us to take a look at places connected with Poland\u2019s struggle for independence \u2013 and not only those from 1918. Some of these sites are unusual, some partially forgotten, some recently discovered. Above all, we should think about the people connected with these locations, because \u2013 as historians are fond of repeating \u2013 \u201cThose who don\u2019t know history are destined to repeat it.\u201d<\/p>\n

No. 8. The Bem Mausoleum in Tarnow<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

An unusual building rises from the center of the pond in Tarnow\u2019s Strzelecki Park \u2013 a rectangular sarcophagus supported by tall columns. This is the mausoleum of General Jozef Bem, an extraordinary figure who was a general of the artillery during the November Uprising, the Commander in Chief of the Hungarian forces during the Spring of Nations (called Bem Ap\u00f3 or \u201cFather Bem\u201d by the Hungarians) and a field marshal in the Turkish army (Ferik Murad Pasha). It was this last role that caused problems for his countrymen; when they prepared to transport his body from Syria in 1927, it turned out that because he had converted to Islam, he couldn\u2019t be buried on holy ground. This is why his mausoleum is raised above the water in his hometown.<\/p>\n
