Exhibitions
The exhibitions prepared by the CDZWiP are based on archival materials obtained from witnesses to history during domestic and foreign trips. These are mainly photographs, letters, birth certificates and personal documents collected in home archives over the years. Combined with scientific studies, they provide a common picture of the past. The exhibitions often tell the fate of individual people in a broader historical context. The themes of the exhibitions mainly concern the fate of Poles deported deep into the USSR during World War II and the consequences of signing the Sikorski-Mayski Agreement and returning them to freedom, and further attempts to build a new life away from their homeland – in refugee settlements in Africa, India, Mexico, New Zealand, and later throughout the world. Exhibitions were presented not only in Poland, but also abroad (Science Po in Paris, the National Museum in Kampala, the Museum of the First President of Kazakhstan in Astana, etc.).
