||MEDIA|| About the project "Uprooted - Stolen/ uprooted(...)" in the Wałbrzych edition of the wyborcza.pl newspaper

We would like to recommend to you an article by Agnieszka Dobkiewicz, which appeared on 5 July 2022 in the online edition of the newspaper https://walbrzych.wyborcza.pl/, devoted to the fate of children taken from their families by the German occupation authorities during World War II.  

Excerpt from the text:

(...) Henrich Himmler, a very important person in the apparatus of the Third Reich, was a man completely obsessed with the purity of the race, with a certain Germanic individual who would embody all that was best in himself," says journalist Anna Malinowska in a programme on this criminal activity prepared by the Krzyzowa Foundation. - This was the main driving force behind the abduction of children from other countries and their subsequent Germanisation within the Third Reich. Even among members of the Slavic peoples, even among the Poles, he saw opportunities for the recovery of so-called good blood.

15 - 17.06.2022 Visit of the Pitzer Foundation

A delegation from the Willy Robert Pitzer Foundation visited Krzyżowa on 15-17.06.2022. Since 2016, the Pitzer Foundation has been supporting the activities of the Krzyzowa Foundation - initially through the award of the Erika Pitzer Prize for the International Youth Meeting Centre - and since 2021 through long-term support to strengthen international cooperation.

This year, representatives of the Pitzer Foundation were able to get to know the work of the Foundation and the International Youth Meeting Place and the Memorial Site on site. The trip was organised in cooperation with the Frey von Moltke Foundation and was accompanied by Helmuth Caspar von Moltke and Dr Anna Quirin. During the stay, the programme was very densely packed, including meetings with contemporary witnesses of Kreisau's historical events, excursions and presentations. However, everything was focused on the exchange of experiences and mutual integration and getting to know each other.
