"We
may possibly be the only nation in today's world
which has grounds to honour several million
citizens for having achieved incredible deeds.
It is high time we gave names to the so far
nameless crowd of heroes. Children should know
the truth about their fathers. The Polish people
have the right to know who they owe freedom
and independence to"
Lech Walesa
Such
view was the grounds of the project. The publication
will consist of series of volumes under a common
title Encyclopaedia of Freedom. The series being
prepared right now is called "Freedom People".
The multi-volume publication will include biographies
of the members of NSZZ "Solidarnosc, NSZZ
"Solidarnosc" of Individual Farmers,
NSZZ "Solidarnosc" of Craftsmen, Independent
Students' Unions (NZS) and other informal members
of the Solidarnosc movement.
Recently, all the popular press published a
sociological questionnaire which will allow
the authors to establish a necessary data base.
See
the questionnaire 
A
following series entitled "Freedom Structure"
is to cover the history of the establishment
of national and regional organisational structures
of the independent trade union, factory and
strike committees, dissident groups, underground
publications and all other structures associated
with the "Solidarity" movement. The
third planned series entitled "Freedom
Strategy" will present the strategy and
tactics of the Solidarity movement.
"Freedom Chronicle", in turn, will
be devoted to the struggle of "Solidarity",
yet presented in the forms of chronicles.
The fifth series will include biographies of
the individuals around the world who significantly
contributed to the freedom of the peoples.
Join in our effort,
please!
