In Memory of Bronisław Geremek
The sudden death a few weeks ago of Bronislaw Geremek, a leader of Poland's anti-communist resistance and later its foreign minister, represents a loss for what is best in Polish national identity. As a Jew and a patriot who fought tirelessly for Polish democracy, he upheld the paramount importance of honesty about the nation’s history.

Warsaw – When a friend dies unexpectedly, we recall his face, his smile, the conversations forever unfinished. Today I can see Bronisław Geremek, who died in a car crash a few weeks ago, in jail in Białołęka and hear his hoarse shouts from behind the bars of the prison on Rakowiecka Street. I see and hear Bronek in Castel Gandolfo, addressing Pope John Paul II.
