Description
A collection of approximately 75
postcards and handmade cards sent from schoolchildren in Poland to Lucjan Krause
(1928-2022), a member of the Polish underground resistance who fought in the Warsaw Uprising
(1944). The cards, mostly written by Polish schoolchildren in 2018, express gratitude for
Krause's wartime sacrifice and heroism. The cards in this collection were designed and
delivered as part of a Polish campaign--"BohaterON"--to commemorate and honor the
participants of the Warsaw Uprising and promote the history of Poland in the 20th
century.
