Paula Sawicka – the Chairwoman of the Program Council of Open Republic Association, a friend of Marek Edelman, says on the eve of the 74th anniversary of the outbreak of uprising in the Warsaw ghetto, in her conversation with Michał Płociński: “[Celebration] brings together those who want to commemorate. There is no force. The more people puts daffodils on their coats, the more common the knowledge and memory about the ghetto uprising becomes. This is a positive way of affecting awareness. I am glad that it also spreads outside Warsaw. More and more people and organizations begin to deal with the very problem of memory. And memory, in fact, does not belong to our past, but to our future. What we keep inside, what we remember affects our decisions, our identity and the way we organize our future. It is essential that this memory is not hateful, that we do not harm anyone because of it”.
