The emotional traveling exhibition from the Institute of National Remembrance of Poland (IPN) is entitled Cum Tacent, Clamant. The exhibition was prepared by the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation.
Cum tacent, clamant (When they are silent they shout), is presented in accordance with the worlds celebration of the end of WWII in Europe. For Poles, the end of that war meant the start of only another brutal occupation by the Soviet Union. While the world rejoiced at the collapse of Nazi German terror, Poland was swallowed up into communism, which endured for decades, and took the lives of countless innocent people. As we celebrate the Constitution of May 3rd, and WWII victory in Europe throughout the month, Cum tacent, clamant reminds audiences all over the world that not everyone found freedom after the war.
The exhibition is devoted to the searches for the remains of the victims of the communist system, who were murdered in Poland in 1944-1956. The searches were carried out between 2012 and 2014 by the Institute of National Remembrance and the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites in cemetery section “Ł” of the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw.
Exhibition will be on display at the Polish Cultural Foundation from November 20 – 29, 2015
