In 2025, we will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. This is an opportunity not only to celebrate the victory over Nazi Germany, but also to raise the question of what exactly happened in 1945 and why that year did not mark the end of the fighting and the beginning of rebuilding for all of Europe.
Today, as the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine continues into its third year, questions about the causes and long-term consequences of World War II are particularly relevant. The war experiences in Europe have never felt as close to us as they have since February 24, 2022.
With the aim of bringing the history of World War II closer and exploring the various actions taken across Europe to overcome its consequences—and above all, asking what lessons we should draw from those experiences—the "Krzyżowa" Foundation, in cooperation with the "Memory and Future" Centre, has undertaken the task of implementing the project “Comprehensive execution of the program to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the actions related to overcoming the consequences of the war in Europe, carried out in Krzyżowa” in 2025.
As part of this project, the following activities will take place in Krzyżowa in the current year:
30 workshops on historical education for Polish-German youth groups (throughout 2025)
30 educational lectures/guided tours in Krzyżowa as a memorial site for the war, resistance, and Polish-German reconciliation (throughout 2025)
Seminar on Eastern and Western European Memorial Sites (March 19-22, 2025)
A three-day historical education training for teachers from Poland and Germany (fall 2025)
Financed with funds from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage under the project "Comprehensive execution of the program to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the actions related to overcoming the consequences of the war in Europe, carried out in Krzyżowa."
From March 3rd to 8th, 2025, the international TRIYOU youth exchange took place in Krzyżowa, bringing together participants from Wolsztyn, Uelzen, and Jabłonów. This year's edition had a particularly historical focus. The workshops, led by trainers Anna Huminiak and Martyna Sidorowicz, centered on reflecting on history and its impact on the present.
One of the key elements of the program was collaboration with the Gross-Rosen Museum in Rogoźnica, which included a workshop in Krzyżowa titled “(In)nocent? Paths to Enslavement”. Participants worked with survivor testimonies, helping them to better understand the tragic fate of the victims of totalitarian regimes.
The next day, the group visited the former Gross-Rosen concentration camp, which was a deeply moving experience. After the tour, they took part in a reflection session, where they shared their emotions, thoughts, and analyzed the significance of this site in the context of today's social challenges.
To support the youth in expressing their emotions and openly discussing difficult topics, artistic workshops were organized. One of them was the creation of a "time capsule", where participants wrote letters to their future selves. Additionally, capoeira classes led by the Perun Martial Arts Academy brought energy and joy into the intensive program.
The trainers introduced innovative relationship-building methods, including the use of WhatsApp, which was enthusiastically received by the participants. Equally important were biographical-method workshops focused on the themes of "Diversity and Migration".
A youth exchange, where teachers and participants from different countries learn together and create a space for reflection, is the best proof that history can not only teach us but also bring us together.
We look forward to future meetings in Krzyżowa, where young people can not only explore history but also build a shared future based on dialogue and mutual respect.
The TRIYOU exchange was coordinated by Tetiana Hrebenkina (Likhtar-Krzyżowa project). The project was supported by ESC volunteers Ahsen Akilli and Cansu Elif Aktas. The event was organized with the support of the German-Polish Youth Office (GPYO).
12 vocational school students from Konin and 12 vocational school students from Herne met from February 16th to 23rd in Krzyżowa for the second part of a two-part youth exchange, the first part of which took place at the Jugendakademie Walberberg in North Rhine-Westphalia. During the 9-day program, the youth were able to prepare for their future career paths, confront their own boundaries, examine discriminatory behaviors, cook together, go on trips to interesting places, and deepen their friendships.
