The international academic conference organized by the Pilecki Institute Instytut Pileckiego is the first initiative in to bring together interdisciplinary research on Soviet , a region with an exceptionally complex history of totalitarianism, mass repression, and forced deportations, that also include the experiences of Poles.

The conference brings together researchers both from Poland and abroad whose interests focus on twentieth-century Central Asia, the functioning of the Soviet system in the region, and the fate of civilian populations, both indigenous communities and those resettled as a result of deportations. The conference aims not only to present the latest research findings but also to foster international scholarly cooperation and to initiate new research projects concerning the communist totalitarianism in the countries of Central Asia, as well as to encourage deeper reflection on the nature of Russian-Soviet colonialism, its legacy, and forms of remembrance of its victims.

„You can’t eradicate violence by using more violence.”
Yayoi Kusama
The Open Letter to Richard Nixon,
1968

Yayoi Kusama (草間彌生 born 22 March 1929, Matsumoto, Nagano - died 14 August 2026, Tokio) was a fierce pacifist whose intense anti-war stance was shaped by surviving World War II as a child and later channelled into radical avant-garde protests during the Vietnam War.

She directly targeted institutions funding the war machine, staging a naked protest at the New York Stock Exchange to state that money made from stocks was actively enabling military conflict.

Until her recent passing at age 97, her art remained dedicated to lifting up humanity.

Rest in peace, Yayoi Kusama 🙏

„I hope, I hope. I would love to have my art make a change in the world about Palestinians, because they want to dehumanize the Palestinians. I hope and I think my art helps a little bit in changing that idea.”
Sliman Mansour

Sliman Mansour - one of the most distinguished Palestinian artists died today in Jerusalem.

Born in 1947 in Birzeit, Palestine, pursued a degree in fine arts at the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem in 1970.

Mansour always carried the Palestinian cause through his art to the whole world, to get the Palestinian voice heard to everyone.

We extend our condolences to the artist’s family, friends and colleagues, as well as to the community for which the artist created.

On September 1, 1939, fascist Germany invaded Poland, starting World War II. On September 17, 1939, Poland was attacked from the east by the second aggressor - Soviet Union. On September 27, 1939, after a 3-week defense, the Germans entered Warsaw. The 6-year period of occupation began. From the autumn of 1939, the N***s began systematic extermination of the population of Warsaw, starting with the intelligentsia. In October 1940, a large part of Warsaw was separated, creating a ghetto surrounded by a wall, where Jews living in Warsaw and those brought from nearby towns were gathered. The Jewish population was subjected to merciless extermination. In April 1943, the final liquidation of the ghetto was carried out, which ended with the ghetto uprising, which broke out on April 18, 1943 and lasted until May 8.

August 1, 1944 at 17.00 the broke out. About 50,000 people took part in the fight. Unfortunately, the insurgents were very poorly armed.
Planned for several days, the Uprising lasted 63 days, being the largest liberation uprising of this type in the history of World War II. Despite the huge military advantage, the German army suffered huge, nearly 50% losses: 10,000 dead, 7,000 missing, 9,000 wounded. They compared the uprising with the Battle of Stalingrad.

About 16,000 insurgents and about 150,000 civilians died in the uprising. Thousands of people were injured. About 650,000 civilians were deported from Warsaw to the transit camp, and from there 150,000 to forced labor in Germany and 50,000 to concentration camps.

Before the war, was called the Paris of the North. It was a beautiful, bustling city. In 1939, the capital of Poland had 1,289,000 inhabitants, including about 32% Jews.

After the capitulation of the insurgents, the Germans razed Warsaw to the ground.

Every year, on August 1 at 5:00 pm, all of stops for one minute to commemorate the heroes of the Warsaw Uprising - civilians and military.

Glory to the heroes!
