▶️ How did it happen that Lemkin devoted his entire mature life to fighting for the Convention? Where did his interest in the subject of genocide come from? What shaped him? What impact did his childhood have on his worldview and life goals, what did his studies and professional career in pre-war Poland have, and what was the nightmare of war and years of wandering, and finally the fate of a lonely emigrant? For many years, Rafał Lemkin, despite the importance of his legacy, was forgotten and repressed from historical consciousness... ???? Prof. Piotr Madajczyk is the biographer of Rafał Lemkin and in his research work he wanted to answer all the above questions. ???? The series of meetings "Faces of History" brings closer the complexity of contemporary history, as well as its contradictory elements influencing the course of events. We will look at the institutions and people who shaped the past. Our interest will remain in institutions such as intelligence and counterintelligence, which, as a rule, operate covertly and whose operational methods are conspiratorial in nature, political parties that shaped past realities, as well as ideas that testified to changes in the nature of civilization. We will talk about the people who created these ideas and politicians who practically shaped the world. Production: Centralny Przystanek Historia IPN. ????
