1968 and the Polish - West German Relations

The project, called “In the melting pot of generations – the year 1968 and its influence on the Polish-German relations between 1968 and 2007”, concerned a very interesting issue, namely the influence of events of 68 on the Polish-German relations. Although there have been many elaborations of this issue, they always looked at it from the same perspective. What was analysed were the internal cultural, social and political changes in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), and lately, their global context. In Polish research the focus is mostly on the events of March 1968 and the problem of inner politics, with the key issue being the crisis of an authoritarian country. Moreover, the Polish studies lack not only reference to global events, but also to events happening in other countries of the Eastern Bloc
