Abstract

Three years ago a book came out under the title „Freedom primarily. Demur, defiance, opposition. Polish People´s Republic – German Democratic Republic” (Vor allem Freiheit. Widerstand, Revolte, Opposition. DDR-VR Polen”) published by GAJT publishing house in two language versions. This is a composite work of the German and Polish researchers edited by Kinga Hartmann, teacher, the author of the plan of Polish language teaching in German schools. This academic-educational publication was carried out as part of Saxony Education Agency´s project “Citizens for freedom. Moral courage in the time of dictarorship. Saxony and Lower Silesia 1945-1989”. The project and the publication were funded by Regional Operational Program of cross-border cooperation Poland-Saxony 2007-2013. The publication consists of five main thematic parts always compiled by two authors from Germany and Poland. The following chapters are titled: 1. Administration against society, 2. Decency of value, 3. Enemies of the people, 4. Helping hand, 5. Resistance and rebellion. Each of them presents his own national point of view to historic case and developing processes in his country. The effect of this compilation is a presentation of historical truth and likelihood of presented hypothesis. At the beginning two authors Krzysztof Popiński and Nancy Aris introduce the readers into a ideological sphere and political determinants of communist authorities in the Polish People´s Republic and in the German Democratic Republic. Political order after the Second World War which emerged was a result of a conference in Potsdam in July 1945. During earlier wartime conferences, the allies had accepted the incorporation of the cities of Lwów and Wilno into the Soviet Union. Both of them had strong historic links to Polish culture. Polish access to the cost was consolidated by the incorporation of part of Eastern and Western Prussia. The authors showed how the population of both nations changed dramatically. Most notably, from having been a multicultural, multireligious state, Poland became a national state. The community was depleted by Nazi genocide, Soviet displacement and arrests, emigration and fighting. At the same time German residents suffered from lacking of food and were dispossessed, nationalized in imitation of Soviet community. Enemy and victim experienced similar humiliations with different intensity.
