Description:
|
It is easy to look backward and see the events of the past as inevitable steps leading to our modern world, but that ignores the struggles of those who lived in the past, and the uncertainty they faced about outcomes. Join local author Tomek Jankowski--author of the acclaimed book Eastern Europe!: Everything You Need to Know About the History (and More) of a Region that Shaped Our World and Still Does--as he explores the momentous events surrounding the fall of the Soviet regimes in Eastern Europe, and explores some of the heroic things common people did in those times, and some of the unexpected outcomes of what they did. This presentation will cover all of Eastern Europe, but concentrate particularly on Poland and Hungary.
