About this event
Was 1956 a real break in communist Poland, or a repair job on a system whose foundations never moved? The Polish History Museum puts that question to a panel in its new Citadel building, asking whether the thaw gave Poles genuine hope or only a short-lived loosening. A substantial history evening in one of the city's newest museums.
