Submitting financial and narrative project reports 

The project will promote mutual understanding, friendship and tolerance between European nations: Poles, Russians, Belarus, Ukrainians, Germans, Lithuanians and the Jewish nation. Special attention will be paid to the young generations of these European nations. The project will be devoted to the memory of the “Polish operation” organized by the Stalin’s totalitarianism in the years of “great terror” (1937 – 1938) in comparison to the fate of other nationalities at that time. Out of about 1 000 000 Soviet Poles about 200 000 persons were annihilated by the Stalin’s secrete police - NKWD. This crime has all the traces of the 

genocide and has many essential common features with the Holocaust. As one of survivors of the “Polish operation” admitted: “To be a Pole in the Soviet Union in 1938 is almost the same as to be a Jew in the occupied Europe during the second world war”. But as compared to the Holocaust the “Polish operation” is almost a forgotten event in the history of “Stalinism”, in the history of totalitarianism. The reason is the following. The Soviet Union won the war and all the crimes of the Stalinist system were thoroughly hidden by its perpetrators. Only the collapse of communism in 1991 permitted us to start the process of restoration of the historical memory of Europeans. 

In the realms of our project we are going to organize 10 – 15 conferences at schools of Poland, Belarus, Czech republic and Russia on the topic of similarity between communist and Nazi atrocities in Europe. Conferences will include the presentation of the exhibition on this topic, showing the film about this and a lecture by a leading historian on this topic. The most important part of the project will be an open discussion between participants from different countries.
