Ceremony to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Dr Ewa Unger - 13 March 2021 (photo)

March 2021 will marked the first anniversary of the death of Dr Ewa Unger, co-founder of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and long-time chairwoman of its board, long-time president of the Club of Catholic Intelligentsia in Wrocław, a Wroclaw native who worked throughout her life for Polish-German understanding.

As an active member of the Club of Catholic Intelligentsia in Wrocław, Dr Ewa Unger had since the 1970s maintained contact with Catholic lay groups in the Federal Republic of Germany and with members of the Action Reconciliation Service for Peace (Aktion Sühnezeichen) in the GDR. She became a mainstay of the partnership between the parishes of Wrocław and Dortmund, which in the 1980s was characterised by an exceptional will to help and solidarity with the Polish population suffering from a lack of food and medicines.

||REPORT|| Online training “Social Justice and Diversity” - 28.01-16.02.2021

We live in a system that in their assumptions often opposes the reality of life - the diversity of genders. Worldwide, we can observe a process of polarization, which is also taking place in relation to the issues of feminism, the concept of sociocultural gender or sexual orientation. Structural discrimination against women or those who are not heteronormative is increasing. To counteract existing structures, it is important to be aware of them and their consequences. The greater the exchange with different people, the greater the awareness of the limits we reach with our normative perspectives.

||MEDIA|| Dr Tomasz Skonieczny in WIĘŹ about the Polish edition of "Mein Kampf"

We recommend the article "Mein Kampf". That terrible book that no one has read? by Dr Tomasz Skonieczny - deputy head of the European Academy , which appeared on the https://wiez.pl portal.

The article extracts:

(...) The critical edition of "Mein Kampf" (Bellona) published in Poland on the 20th of January, which is at the same time the second publication of this kind in the world, provides a reason not only to reflect on what we really know about this book, and what is an element of the chain of associations which the mere mention of its author's name evokes, but also - what the consequences of releasing this work into legal distribution might be.
