14 September marked the start of the third edition of the Gdańsk Democracy Week, which this year is being organised under the slogan “Without civil society there is no democracy”.

As part of the event, a conference entitled “World War II – Operations on Memory” was held. It began with a lecture by Professor Norman Davies entitled “World War II: Between National and Global Experience”. The beautiful Main Hall of the historic Artus Court will continue to host many extremely interesting lectures and panel discussions until 22 September.

Linguistic and technical support for the event, including the LED screen, is provided by the Gdynia Branch Office of Lidex.
