The young people of Poland are friendly, curious and undoctrinaire. If young people of other countries can free themselves of concepts like "cold war" and "behind the Iron Curtain," a meaningful exchange of opinions can begin to take place. We speak glibly of "the war of ideas," but in the words of Daniel Aaron, an American professor who taught in Poland. "Why not think of ideas as 'bridges,' as points of integration and reconciliation, links between disparities "
The bridges must be built by people of goodwill and intelligence who are prepared to relinquish prejudices and stereotypes and who are curious enough to seek new and authentic sources of information.
