Our colleague from the Krzyżowa Foundation, head of communication and international cooperation, Dr. Anna Poznańska, appeared on Radio Wrocław in a programme entitled 'Mission Lower Silesia'.

Anna, who was born in Germany, talks about how the Polish-German school exchange influenced her life decisions, how she found herself in Wrocław, why she thinks Polish is like Latin and what she does in the Krzyżowa Foundation.

Due to the pandemic and limitations in the activities of our center, the possibility of purchasing publications offered by the Krzyżowa Foundation has also become troublesome. Thanks to our friend, the Zajezdnia History Center in Wrocław, the option to buy our books is much simpler.

For several days now, the offer of the Zajezdnia History Center online store also includes the publications of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe. For several days now, the offer of the Zajezdnia History Center online store These are items in Polish published by the Krzyżowa Foundation, but also other publications dealing with the history of Krzyżowa, foundations and Polish-German relations established there in the 1990s.

The year 1990 was a turning point in overcoming the communist heritage and shaping democracy in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. That year brought the first fully free parliamentary, presidential and local government elections in most of the CEE countries. It was also in 1990 that the two German states were reunited, which had (still has) consequences not only for the Germans themselves, but also for their eastern neighbours, Poles, Czechs and Slovaks (then: Czechoslovakia), who had to re-establish their relations with their old/new neighbour - with whom they also had an unsettled history dating back to World War II. The year 1990 was also the beginning of a new era for the Baltic States, such as Lithuania, which was the first country of that region to declare its independence after 50 years of Soviet rule.
