On 7 March, an exhibition entitled “Haus der Geschichte” opened in Bonn. The exhibition was held under the patronage of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Prof. Roman Herzog, who was also present at its opening. The exhibition will also be available to view in Warsaw from 18 July 1996. It is under the patronage of Polish President Kwaśniewski.
The opening ceremony was conducted by the director of this institution, Prof. Dr Herman Schaefer. Afterwards, a speech was delivered to the 1,300 invited guests by the former Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs and historian, Prof. Dr Władysław Bartoszewski. The German company “Lufthansa” provided the musical accompaniment. The viewing of more than 800 exhibits then began.
