The conference entitled “80 years have passed. The situation of the child at the end of World War II and in the first years of the postwar period (1944-1949)”, organised by the Museum of Polish Children – Victims of Totalitarianism, will be held on 20 November 2025 at the Łódź Centre of Culture (ul. Dowborczyków 18).

During this one-day event, representatives of various research and cultural bodies from Poland and abroad will explore the history of children and young people in the final phase of the largest armed conflict in the history of mankind and the early years of the post-war period (1944-1949). Despite the passing of 80 years since the end of the Second World War this year, the historical and cultural policy of modern Europe remains oriented toward remembering those experiences and setting signposts to avoid a large-scale conflict in the years to come. At the same time, the war taking place at Poland's borders absorbs the attention of Europeans and forces critical reflection on the historical memory of societies.

You are cordially invited to attend the event. Admission is free of charge.
