an ordinary man’s cry
about the project
The project “An ordinary man’s cry. Ryszard Siwiec 1909–1968” was developed in order to expand on a traditional exhibition called the same way. It consists of: a website which you are now visiting, e-books
as well as a disc which contains the Polish website edition designed for educational institutions.
We hope that thanks to its electronic form Ryszard Siwiec’s story will reach a wider audience and he will not only be remembered by the Poles but also Czechs and other nations.
We would like to thank you for taking your time to familiarise yourselves with the subject. At the same time we would like to give our acknowledgements to all people and institutions without whom this project would have failed:
The Siwiec family Maciej Drygas Petr Blažek Agnieszka Andrzejewska The Polish Institute in Prague The Sejm Library The Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature Educational Film Studio The Centre for Citizenship Education Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Website kronikarp.pl East News Agency and all those who offered us their advice, help and valuable comments
