- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: January 28, 2016, 19:00 – 21:00
Polish journalist Igor Janke’s book is a gripping history of the most radical and best organised anti-communist organisation in the Eastern Bloc. Portraits of legendary leaders Kornel Morawiecki and Jadwiga Chmielowska alternate with snapshots of the everyday struggles of activists who after the imposition of martial law in Poland in 1981 were determined to resist communism, some bearing arms.
The book’s translator Petruška Šustrová will conduct a discussion with the writer and Maria Peisert-Kisielewicz and Andrzej Kisielewicz will participate in it.
Event organised in cooperation with the Polish Institute.
