EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in Paris in 1939, the new Polish Cabinet gathers for the first time, determined to lead and direct Poland's efforts during the early stages of World War II. With their country already overrun by both German and Russian armies, the formation of this government in exile was a crucial step in ensuring the continuity of Polish leadership and resistance. From left to right, the members of the Cabinet include Colonel Adam Koc, Minister of Finance; M. Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, Vice President of the Council; M. Auguste Zaleski, Foreign Minister; General Wladislaw Sikorski, Premier; M. Raczkiewicz, President of Poland; and M. Stanislaw Stronski, Vice President of the Council. The new government, which was formed following the invasion of Poland in September 1939, was a significant development in the political landscape of Europe during this tumultuous time. The Polish leaders, who had been forced to flee their homeland, were committed to maintaining the sovereignty and integrity of their nation, even in the face of overwhelming military force. This photograph provides a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the Polish people during a time of great adversity. The new Cabinet, led by Premier Sikorski and President Raczkiewicz, would go on to play a crucial role in the Polish resistance movement and in shaping the post-war political landscape of Europe.
