In May, Polish foreign missions all over the world and Polish communities celebrate and promote Polish culture, the heritage of past generations and, above all, the Polish contribution to cultural, economic and social life in their respective countries. On the initiative of the Head of Foreign Service Arkady Rzegocki, it is in May that we celebrate Polish Heritage Days, whose main message is to joyfully celebrate Polishness, being Polish, and pride in Poland and Polish heritage.

’Erase the Nation’ directed by Tomasz Grzywaczewski, shows the destruction of Ukraine’s cultural heritage, having been carried out by the Russian Federation’s troops since 24 February 2022. The film shows the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian monuments from Lviv, Chernivtsi, Ivankiv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv to Izium and Bohorodychy in eastern Ukraine. The crimes committed against secular and religious cultural heritage, from archaeological monuments to modern libraries and schools. Testimonies by Ukrainian cultural representatives paint a picture of a deliberate struggle of barbaric invaders against Ukrainian identity, for which Ukrainian heroes are giving their lives.The film made by NID TV was commissioned by the Polish National Institute of Cultural Heritage within the framework of activities of the Support Center for Culture in Ukraine. It was financed from funds from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
The Polish Institute in Stockholm is proudly presenting the Swedish edition of the exhibition “Mom, I don’t want war! 1939-45 Poland/2022 Ukraine”. We are happy that the Embassy of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Institute are the official partners of the event. The exhibition was created by the Polish State Archives and the Ukrainian portal ”Mom, I see War” together with the University of Warsaw and Kyiv University. Our version presents a selection of historical drawings of Polish children from 1946, which are a record of their experiences during World War II, and contemporary drawings of Ukrainian children related to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The exhibition will be on display in Kungsträdgården 14 March – 4 April 2023.
After the inauguration in Kungsträdgården, we invite You to Hallwylska museet where we are showing, in collaboration with Nordic Ukraine Forum, a short documentary ‘Erase the Nation’ about the Russian crimes against Ukraine’s cultural heritage.
