Last Wednesday, on the website and other channels of Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, it was possible to watch a LIVE meeting with Robert Żurek - Managing Director and member of the Board of the Krzyżowa Foundation. The topic of the conversation was Solidarity - history, influence and legacy.
"40 years ago in Poland, a mass movement and the Solidarity trade union emerged from the strike movement. Its members stood up in solidarity and courageously for human rights. In this way they accelerated the collapse of real socialism in Eastern Europe and contributed to overcoming the division of Europe. At the same time, the movement was a school of civil responsibility, a value-oriented attitude, constructive conflict resolution and cooperation beyond all differences. Together with Robert Żurek from the Krzyżowa Foundation, we discussed the beginnings of the movement, its role in the period of change and its significance for Polish society.
The video is available on the channels:
