Life of a Samurai Metaphor – The Turbulent History of the Japanese Garden in Wrocław
Stones, water and plants – everything in a Japanese garden is meticulously arranged, with each element contributing to a perfectly composed whole that evolves with the seasons, weather and even the perspective of the viewer, whether sitting, standing or walking. There are few Japanese gardens in Poland, but the most famous and distinctive one in Europe is located in Szczytnicki Park in Wrocław.

Pomerania remembers
The German executioners did everything they could to wipe out the traces of their crimes in the Valley of Death at Chojnice. Many years later, we have unearthed the remains of the victims from unmarked pits and are now giving them a respectful burial.

Once again, we are Europe’s shield
Today, Poland is a key country on NATO’s eastern flank, a defender of the EU’s eastern borders and a haven for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who have fled Russian aggression.

Wroclaw’s Strength
The strength of Wroclaw lies in the convergence of different traditions and the ultimate success of the processes of social integration, ‘befriending’ the city and reconstructing it. It stems from the history of the post-war decades, the turning point of which were the Solidarity movement and the opposition activities of the martial law years.

Wrocław – A treasure chest that loses its gems
‘With Intel’s latest giant investment in the area, Wrocław has become a “treasure chest” for international business. At the same time, however, the city is losing “Polish gems”.

LOT aspires to continue to be the pride of Poles
LOT is a national carrier firmly entrenched in the public awareness of Poles. In the ‘Rzeczpospolita’ daily newspaper’s ranking of the most valuable Polish brands, it climbed to 17th place in 2018, from the bottom of the top 100 a few years earlier. In the Polish Radio ranking 'Lubię, bo polskie’, it was recognised as the best domestic brand of 2023.

Taking stock of the last two decades
Once we strip away the marketing rhetoric, it becomes evident that in the long run, all the countries in our region that have joined the EU and undertaken the necessary reforms are catching up with the West at a similar rate to Poland.

Our goal should be to prevent crises
Our world is facing multiple global crises that have significant impact on infrastructure systems. Our goal should be to prevent crises, not just react to them.

The Katyn scar
In the spring of 1940, the Soviets exterminated the flower of the Polish intelligentsia without any legal proceedings. Today, the Russian authorities want to treat this crime as an ordinary offence subject to the statute of limitations.
Andrzej DUDA
They died for their loyalty to Poland
The Katyn Massacre is one of the cruellest acts of wartime terror experienced by Poland during the Second World War. The crimes committed by Nazi Germany in the Polish territories it occupied from 1939, particularly the extermination of the Jews, are widely recognised.
Prof. Wojciech MATERSKI
The Katyn massacre was a genocide
Although Russia has officially acknowledged the perpetration of the Katyn massacre, this truth is virtually absent from Russian historiography today. For it does not fit into the myth of the great victory of the war, any more than the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939, the mass deportations, the enslavement of the Baltic republics or the colossal scale of the Red Army’s marauding in the final phase of the Second World War.
