An experience in Warsaw, Poland

By CHAD CURTIS Guest Feature Writer To understand what it means to be Polish, one only has to lode at the map of Europe. Poland is a small country of 35 million people and is about the size of Arizona. Located in the middle of Europe it is considered the crossroads of Europe. To the east of Poland is Russia. To the west of Poland is Germany. Every invader who ever tried to conquer all of Europe realized the need to crush Poland. The history of those people is that of a small country trying to fight off a much larger invader. Conquerors have come from the east, west, and south always with the same result. A heroic struggle of the small and weak against the appression of the stronger. This is the 1,000 year history of Poland. My interest in Poland began in 1980. It was during the summer of 1980 that the news media began reporting the unbelievable events happening in Poland. It was the beginning of what became known as the “Solidarity Period” in Polish history. The rise of Solidarity marked the first time an organization had challenged a Communist government inside a Soviet satellite country and won. Having been a history student in college, I was amazed by what I recognized as the greatest passive resistance movement to free an enslaved people since Mahatma Gandhi a generation before. The seeds of what became Solidarity were planted as early as 1968. It was started by a little electrician in the Gdansk Shipyards. His name was Lech Walesa. The movement began as an underground trade union movement. By 1980 Solidarity and Lech Walesa had virtual control of the country. For 16 months Poland was not a Communist but a free country. In 1983 the government, having been successful in crushing Solidarity in December of 1981, saw new hope for the Solidarity movement. It was announced that Lech Walesa was to be the recipient of the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize. Having followed the events in Poland as close as I had I quickly recognized the importance of this award. It legitimatized in the eyes of history this attempt by the Poles for freedom. Having heard Lech Walesa was to be the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize I went to the newsstand to buy all the newspapers I could of this event. One of them had Mr. Walesa’s home address. This chance discovery made possible for me an adventure of a lifetime. I wrote Mr. Walesa a letter congratulating him on receiving the award. I felt that a letter coming from a place called Warsaw, Ind., might receive a reply. It did not come as too much of a surprise to me to find a letter from Mr. Walesa in my mailbox. After receiving my letter I contacted Warsaw Mayor Jeff Plank, who in turn contacted Senator Richard Lugar. After working nine months with these gentlemen, I received permission to travel to Poland to meet Mr. Walesa. Senator Lugar placed me in contact with Jeff Goldstein, Third Secretary of the US Embassy in Warsaw, Poland. After my arrival in Warsaw, I spent the first two days being briefed by Mr. Goldstein. I learned that it is against the law to have photographs of Mr. Walesa or anything that says Solidarity on your person. I had told that one week before my arrival a group of French tourists had been caught with photographs of Walesa and were removed from the country. Mr. Goldstein told me to go to Gdansk and meet Father Jankowsky, Mr. Walesa’s priest. Father Jankowsky is Walesa’s closest friend and has control of the access to Walesa. On my person I was to carry documents from Senator Lugar explaining who I was and why I had come as well as a copy of the letter Walesa had sent me. The US Embassy also gave me a note to give to the priest. If these documents had been found in my possession I would have been arrested and removed from the country by the authorities. Saturday, March 31,1 drove to Gdansk. The weather in this northern port city was very cold and windy compared to what I had experience in Warsaw, Poland, the day before. The chill of the weather was nothing compared to the coolness of the political climate in Gdansk. Military police were everywhere. As I stepped inside Mr. Walesa’s church I realized something quite remarkable. Inside the church photographs were all over of Walesa as well as candles burning everywhere with the word “Solidarity” written on them. This struck me as amazing because I had been told this was illegal. I learned during the week I spent in Poland that the government stays clear of the church. It

is as though the government has no jurisdiction on church ground. In Warsaw some churches actually have Solidarity antigovernment banners posted outside on church ground. However, the government does not move against them because of the fear and respect the government has for the church. Poland is truly a country within a country. There is official Communist Poland and there is unofficial free Catholic Poland. I presented by documents to the church officials. Mr. Walesa was called and advised to come to the church to meet me. He remembered me because of the letters we had exchanged. Unfortunately Mr. Walesa was suffering from a. mild case of pneumonia. He sent over his top aides to meet me. I gave these men the gifts I had taken with me to give to Mr. Walesa. I took a leather bound photo album with pictures of Warsaw, Ind. I also took a glass plate from Warsaw Cut Glass. These things are now in the possession of Mr. Walesa. The top aide I met with in Gdansk was Bogdan Liss. Mr. Liss is generally considered the number two man in power in Solidarity. He is almost as well known in Poland as is Mr. Walesa. I told Mr. Liss that it was my impression that the government would like very much to arrest Mr. Walesa but because he has won the Nobel Peace Prize they realize that they can not. So they arrest him instead. Mr. Liss laughed and told me he many times felt this was very true. A couple of weeks after my talk with Mr. Liss he was imprisoned for three years for. “anti social

activity.” This is the commitment to freedom being waged in Poland today. As I was meeting with these men, Mr. Walesa called back to the church again. He explained to them that he was too ill to leave his apartment and wanted to know if I could be taken to his apartment so that we could meet each other. It was the opinion of the advisors that to do so might attract the attention of the authorities that always watch his apartment. They were reluctant to do anything outside the safety of the church. Mr. Walesa’s advisors told me that he remembered me, regretted that we were not able to meet each other, and is hopeful that I will someday return. Poland is very much a land of contradiction. It is a Communist country in which the Communist party has never had a majority of its people as members. Once known as the bread basket of Europe today, Poland’s fertile farms do not produce enough to feed its people. Poland has rich natural resources and an abundance of heavy industry and yet shortages of manufactured goods are extreme. As a Communist country, tremendous pressure exists to conform to atheism and yet 90 percent of the people are Catholic. Their faith is their quick protest to a system of government they did not want or ask for. The conflict being waged in Poland is of immense importance to everyone. I was fortunate enough to witness the cutting edge of world history for seven in Poland. They now know of another Warsaw located in the state of Indiana and of our hopes for their success.
