Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur Visits Piast Institute
September 19, 2011
Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) visited the Piast Institute at the close of its quarterly Board Meeting August 27, 2011, to discuss the development of a youth exchange between Poland and the United States through the scouting programs of both countries.
The exchange will be initiated in honor of Marian Wojciechowski and his wife Zofia, both decorated heroes of the Polish Resistance in World War II.
Zofia Wojciechowska worked through the Polish Scouting movement during the war organizing resistance at Nazi concentration camps such as Ravensbruck. The program will be done jointly with the historic Polish Cavalry School at Grudziadz, Poland, which sponsors scouting activities. Representative Kaptur, who visited the Cavalry School with Colonel Wojciechowski in 2009, is the longest serving woman in the U.S. House of Representatives.
