Living History Day

American School of Warsaw

Ladies and Gentlemen , over a hundred years ago, poet, philosopher George  Santayana  said , "Who does not remember history are condemned to repeat it." Well, today we have the honor of hosting the nineteen exceptional people to help us remember. On behalf of the eighth-grade American School in Warsaw, I want to thank our guests  for today's re-enter the event. It is thanks to you we have to get to know the past. Over the past few months we learned about World War II. We watched movies, read books and searched for information on the Internet. We analyzed the propaganda, we watched Schindler's List and even visited a camp of concentration  at Auschwitz-Birkenau. With state wisycie we have a chance to meet with living history. We live in a time and place where violence, outrage and fear are not part of the day.

Your experiences are not for our generation to imagine . That is why we must learn history, to know what the State survived a generation, so that our next generation and what did not survive the state, and to be able to distinguish right from wrong.

George  Snatayana could not foresee the coming disaster  the twentieth century. Madness is the biggest enemy of man was the second man's.

Today is our duty to remember, thank you for your help.
