In August, in Krzyżowa, we hosted the Polish Radio Program 2 crew, which recorded materials for the programme from the series „Dwójka na miejscu. Z biegiem lat, z biegiem rzek”. In the episode, the leitmotif of which was the Odra River, there was a fragment devoted to Krzyżowa.
Aleksandra Królak-Wąsowicz, director of organization and development of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe, talked about the initiatives of our foundation, abolishing borders and promoting understanding across divisions, as well as about the Kreisau Circle and the von Moltke family.

Today, an exceptional event took place in Krzyżowa - the vernissage crowning the first part of the Artistic Residence project "Sztuka. Land. Art." It was opened by Anna Kudarewska, program director of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe, and was graced by the presence of Doris Wildemann from the Department of Culture of the Consulate General of Germany in Wrocław. The vernissage was also attended by the organizers of the ongoing Krzyżowa-Music Festival, employees of the Krzyżowa Foundation and the participants of the bicycle trip from Oświęcim to Westerbrock, "Terug naar Westerbork", who were visiting us.
Over the past few weeks, two artists from Germany and Poland - Elke Burkert and Jarek Lustych - have been working in Krzyżowa on an artistic statement that would combine nature with the social aspect. This is how the work entitled "Wall can do” was created. The artists decided to use in their work the wall located on the foundation's site, which is now practically useless. It inspired them as a symbol of a division that can be broken not by force, but by daily, repetitive and sometimes arduous work. Similar to what members of the Kreisau Circle did. They was seemingly divided, followers of different views, but worked together on the project of a new state without walls and divi-sions.
