On September 17, 1939, the Red Army invaded Poland from the east, striking a fatal blow to a nation already fiercely resisting N**i German aggression from the west.

This unprovoked attack was the direct result of the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which N**i Germany and the Soviet Union conspired to partition Poland and divide Central and Eastern Europe between totalitarian regimes.

The Soviet invasion marked the beginning of decades of brutal repression:

- Mass deportations: Hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens were forcibly exiled to Soviet labor camps in Siberia.

- The Katyn Massacre: Over 21,000 Polish officers, policemen, and intellectuals were systematically executed in the spring of 1940.

- Loss of sovereignty: Decades of foreign domination and forced partition followed.

Today, on the 87th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland we honor the memory of the fallen soldiers, murder victims, and hundreds of thousands of deportees whose lives were altered forever by Soviet totalitarianism.

We remember. 🇵🇱🕯️

Don’t miss this one, UChicago 📢

Join us for a rare and powerful conversation with Andrzej Poczobut - renowned Polish-Belarusian journalist, dissident, and an unwavering symbol of free speech and resilience.

The discussion will be moderated by Belarusian playwright and activist Andrei Kureichik.

Why you should be there: Poczobut spent years exposing authoritarianism from inside Belarus as a correspondent for Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, leading to repeated persecution by the political regime. Arrested in 2021 and sentenced to 8 years in prison for his work and activism, he was released in 2026 as part of a prisoner exchange. Awarded the European Parliament’s Sakharov Prize and Poland’s Order of the White Eagle, he brings firsthand insight into political resistance, press freedom, and human rights today.

📍 Where: Social Science Research Building, Tea Room (Hyde Park Campus)

🗓️ When: Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at 12:30 PM

Presented by CEERES and the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, with support from the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago and the "Pomoc Polakom na Wschodzie" Foundation.

Bring your questions and your friends, see you there! 🙌

Some Ukrainian children arrived in Poland carrying more than a backpack. They also carry fear. Trauma. Silence.

🏫 At the Extraordinary School in Józefów near Warsaw, around 200 children with disabilities – including 40 from Ukraine – learn, heal, and grow together. Since 2022, Ukrainian-speaking teachers and a Ukrainian psychotherapist have helped children who fled the war feel safe, understood, and included.

💬 "Some children who arrived unable to walk or speak now move independently and communicate. That's our greatest success," says the school's director, Izabela Popławska.

Here, Polish and Ukrainian staff work side by side to give every child the care, warmth, and support they deserve. Because resilience grows where people care for one another. 🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦
