- Abstract
But those same words don't tell you that the same government declared the area at the Belarusian border under a "state of emergency" preventing common people from helping (get caught with a refugee in your car? Dear Human from the West, I'm writing to you from the corner of the world which I imagine in your mind lies somewhere at the dusty crossroads of the Iron Curtain and Auschwitz, south of the Baltic Sea and oblivion. And if you see the Polish government boasting about the number of refugees Poland is taking, know that by "Poland" they mean individual Poles who used Facebook to start connecting, collecting, structuring and bringing people into their homes. Friends and strangers from abroad call me and tell me about a refugee awaiting transport/accommodation in Poland, and I do my research as best as I can, sending cars and helpful hands their way.
