Janusz Bolonek, who is himself Polish, was Pope John Paul II's official representative to Haiti's bicentennial celebrations on 1 January. He took the opportunity while in the Caribbean country to say mass in Cazale, one hour north of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince - in honor of 200 or so Polish legionnaires thought to have settled here and in a few nearby villages two centuries ago. They arrived In 1802, part of Napoleon's invading force charged with reconquering the colony which had revolted in 1793. Napoleon wanted Haiti back, and he wanted the Haitians back in chains. The Poles hoped that by assisting Napoleon, they would get some help in reestablishing their own country, whose territory had been annexed by Austria, Russia and Prussia. But almost all of them died of yellow fever and other illnesses or were wiped out by the slave-army's guerrilla warfare tactics. Today, their descendants in Cazale have notably lighter skin than the majority of Haitians, while some even have blue eyes.
