Migration and discrimination of migrants were topics of a two day workshop at the Museum of History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.

We learnt what we need to act against discrimination: knowledge, skills, reflection -> motivation to act. These reminds me of the concept of Swiss Johann Pestalozzi „head, heart and hand” [głowa, serce, ręka]. It means that our mind, feelings and actions should „act” together.

Mechanism of discrimination in short looks like this. / Mechanizm dyskryminacji w skrócie wygląda tak:

Memory places of Kraków

I helped to conduct the seminar about history of and memory places in Kraków (13-19 May 2013) of Prof. Jürgen Angelow and (this time) Prof. Zdzisław Noga. The participants were students of the Freie Universität Berlin und Pedagogical University in Krakow. The topics of speeches were related as always to historical places (monuments, public places, churches etc.).

The development of the seminar’s concept and the seminar organistation were very important to me since my Ph.D is dedicated L’viv’s remembrance from 1867 till 1939.

Beside that I gave a speech on the every day life in Nowa Huta, relations between inhabitants of Nowa Huta and Kraków and the museum concept of Nowa Huta (ecomuseum), which was also an interesting experience.

Relationships between France and Germany are called often as „difficult”. Especially Alsace and Lothringen are the regions which caused conflicts.So Prof. Jürgen Angelow and Prof. Bernhard Kroener (University in Potsdam) organised a seminar on the „difficult neighbourhood in Alsace and Lothringen in the 19th and 20th century”. It took place at different places in Alsace and Lothringen in 2005. I gave there a lecture about cardinal Richelieu’s politics regarding other European countries.
