Poland in US

The years 2020-2021 mark the 40^th anniversary of the emergence of Solidarity, the first free and independent trade union behind the Iron Curtain. To commemorate the anniversary of that movement, which changed the course of history, our Embassy presents, 40x40: In Solidarity with Poland. Americans Who Strengthened Polish-American Ties, written by Matthew Stefanski and edited and introduced by Ambassador Piotr Wilczek. The book honors 38 distinguished Americans and 2 organizations who, through their actions and advocacy, championed Poland-U.S. solidarity.

I hope that by reading this book you will be inspired, as I was, to look at the human dimension of our transatlantic ties. For beneath the official protocols are the people. It is the people who form the most important component in our relations. It is the people who made history, and it is the people, today, in Warsaw, Washington, D.C., and throughout our two countries, who continue to facilitate our ties, build bridges, and bring us together. - Piotr Wilczek, Ambassador of Poland to the United States
