The second meeting of the Council of "Krzyżowa" Foundation of the new term took place on 16 October in Krzyżowa. It was the first time when members of this body had an opportunity to take part in debates in the Foundation's seat. First meeting was held online due to pandemic. The new members of the Foundation Council had the opportunity to get to know both the place where the Foundation operates and the team that creates it.
A stationary meeting of the Foundation's Board was also held the day before.
We hope that in 2022, we will also be able to meet in Krzyżowa.

Yesterday, the German ambassador, Arndt Freiherr Freytag von Loringhoven, together with his wife Barbara von Ow-Freytag and the consul general in Wrocław, Hans-Jörg Neumann, visited Krzyżowa as part of their trip through Lower Silesia.
It turned out that the Ambassador perfectly knows the history of the Kreisau Circle and Polish-German reconciliation, as well as the history and current activities of our Foundation, which made us particularly happy.
We are looking forward to another visit. We always warmly welcome such distinguished guests to Krzyżowa.
