As Told to Teresa Toranska

This site honors the 50th anniversary of March 1968 by relating for the first time in English translation the stories of many individuals whose lives were changed forever as a result of the March 1968 civil unrest and the anti-Semitic campaign launched by Poland's Communist authorities.  The stories translated here are oral histories collected by the famous Polish Journalist Teresa Toranska, and published 10 years ago in her book "Jestesmy" ("We Are Here") for the 40th Anniversary of the March '68 Events.
