23.01.2022 76th anniversary of Warsaw Uprising On August 1, 1944, the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK), a non-Communist underground resistance movement, initiated the Warsaw uprising to liberate the city from the German occupation and reclaim Polish independence. The impetus for the military action was the ongoing retreat of the German forces from Poland, followed by the appearance of the Soviet Red Army along the east bank of the Vistula River. By October 2, 1944, the Germans had suppressed the uprising, deporting civilians to concentration and forced-labor camps and reducing Warsaw to ruins.

15.01.2022 Today in Poland we celebrate the 229th Anniversary of the Constitution of 3rd May. In 1791, Poland adopted a governmental act known as the Constitution of 3rd May. Called by Irish statesman Edmund Burke the noblest benefit received by any nation at any time, the act included some radical reforms, and was designed to address the Commonwealths political ailings, but came as too little and too late. Still, the document became the worlds second-oldest codified national consti...tution (after the US Constitution of 1789) and the first constitution in Europe. The Polish document remained in force for less than 19 months though. Only a couple years later the country was dissolved altogether, making it a historical event without precedent. The Constitution of 3rd May was a reflection of the Polish spirit, which, after all, allowed the Poles to survive 123 years of partitions and then 45 years of Soviet communism. May 3rd was a state holiday until 1939, the outbreak of World War II. Thereupon, first the German and then the Soviet occupiers forbade Poles from celebrating this important day, which became a pretext for many anti-Communist manifestations. And now, in free Poland, the Constitution of May 3 is celebrated once again and Poles treat implementation of this basic law as one of the breakthrough events in Polish history.

01.01.2022 Polish classical composer Krzysztof Penderecki dies, aged 86 A titan of classical music, Penderecki was considered Polands greatest contemporary composer. He i...s best known for his tribute to the victims of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, as well as for film scores like "The Shining." Celebrated classical composer Krzysztof Penderecki died Sunday, aged 86, in his home city of Krakow, Polish media reported, citing his wife. He had been battling a long illness. The Polish composer and conductor was a classical trailblazer, often using atonal techniques in his works, though his compositions grew more traditional throughout his career. He worked with all the major symphony orchestras in Europe and the United States and was still actively performing. Pendereckis best-known pieces include Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, written in 1960 to commemorate the victims of the first-ever used atomic bomb, and the highly avantgarde St. Lukes Passion from 1966. "I was aiming for something that seemed unreachable," he told in an interview in 2013. " A young composer, who had previously only written pieces that were ten minutes long, dared to create a work which was over an hour long much in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach." Penderecki was also known for his film scores, having composed the soundtracks to such movies such as William Friedkins The Exorcist, Stanley Kubricks The Shining and David Lynchs Wild at Heart. He won numerous global awards for his work including four Grammys, most recently in 2017. Penderecki was born on November 23, 1933 in Debica, near Krakow. He received music lessons as a child and later studied composition at the Academy of Music in Krakw. Recognition first came in 1959, when the three pieces he submitted to a young composers competition in Warsaw swept the prizes. His Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima the following year brought him international acclaim. In 1980, he was commissioned by Polands Solidarity trade union, which fought against the communist rule, to write a piece commemorating the anti-government protests in the Gdansk shipyard in 1970. He late expanded the work into one of his best-known later pieces, Polish Requiem.
