Ignacy Paderewski Becomes Prime Minister Of Poland
Paderewski was born on November 6, 1860, in Kuryłówka, Podolia (in present-day Ukraine). Paderewski was perhaps the greatest pianist of his time, admired by all who heard him play.
At the breakout of WWI, Paderewski remained staunchly patriotic to his native Poland. He maximized on his fame to raise funds to help Poland’s war victims. He called it his new “begging” role. Paderewski joined the Polish National Committee in Paris and established the Polish Relief Fund in London. Paderewski traveled the United States seeking contributions for various relief funds and charities. Paderewski also met with President Woodrow Wilson in 1918 to ensure that Polish independence was included as point 13 in his peace terms, also known as the Fourteen Points.
