Young people have played an important role in the commemorations, from the very first commemoration in 1946. I have just said a few words to them and wished them good luck, as they will be singing for us shortly, accompanied by their peers from Poland.
\nThis year’s theme for the national commemoration of the end of World War 2 is, \u201cFreedom is what you agree\u201d \u2013 a theme to keep in our minds.<\/p>\n

For a number of years now, young people from the Airborne International Youth Conference have read a poem, and one of these youngsters will assist us with reading the Polish texts. We are very grateful for this help. This year the Polish texts will be read by Agnieska Kwiatkowska<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
