„So the World May Come to Know“ – Poems
and Documents from Ravensbrück Concentration Camp for Women
„Aby usłyszał to cały świat!“ – Polskie
wiersze i dokumenty z kobiecego obozu koncentracyjnego

Auf Einladung von »Merseyside Polonia«, dem Club der Polen in Liverpool, wird die Lesung

„Damit die Welt es erfährt“ – Gedichte und Dokumente aus dem Frauen-KZ Ravensbrück

aus Anlaß des Tages des Gedenkens an die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus, in Liverpool in der St Bride's Church angeboten.
Diese Kooperation des Freundschaftsvereins Tczew - Witten mit Merseyside Polonia wird unterstützt vom District of Methodist Churches und dem Liverpool City Council.

Die Lesung präsentiert Gedichte polnischer Frauen aus dem Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück, das die deutschen Nationalsozialisten speziell für Frauen errichten ließen und in dem ein Drittel der dort ihrer Freiheit beraubten Frauen Polinnen waren. Im Jahr 1938 errichtet, bestand das KZ Ravensbrück bis zur Befreiung durch die Rote Armee im April 1945.
Aus Anlaß des 70. Jahrestages der Befreiung wurde von der Gedenkstätte Ravensbrück auf Deutsch und auf Polnisch die Bücher „70 polnische Gedichte aus Ravensbrück“ und „70 polskich wierzy z Ravensbrück“ herausgegeben. Diese Gedichte, heimlich im Verborgenen im KZ-Ravensbrück verfaßt, versteckt unter der Erde und nach Jahrzehnten wiedergefunden, bilden die Grundlage für diese Lesung.
