2021 Panel Discussion: Martial Law. Poland 1981-1983 (invitation)

Polish American Congress invites all to the panel discussion held in remembrance of martial law declared in Poland on December 13, 1981.

If unable to join us at the Polish Center of Wisconsin, we encourage everyone to kindle the Light of Freedom on Monday, December 13th 2021 exactly at 7.30 pm

Forty years ago, the Polish Pope John Paul II lit a candle in a Vatican window in solidarity with his homeland, the then US President Ronald Reagan placed a lighted candle in a White House window and called upon the Americans for a similar gesture of unity with the victims of martial law. …In all, millions of Americans placed candles in their windows.


On December 13, 1981, the oppressive, communist regime declared martial law in Poland in an attempt to crush the Solidarity movement and regain totalitarian control over the society longing for freedom, civil liberties, and better living conditions.

On the 40th anniversary of those dramatic and bloody events, this panel brings to the Polish Center witnesses to the history in the making. All living in Poland at the time, now active members of the Polish American Congress – Wisconsin Division and Polish Heritage Club Wisconsin -Madison, they will share their stories of first-hand experiences and the enormous impact of Martial Law on the Polish people.

This event is free and open to the public
