Congress for Cultural Freedom
The Congress for Cultural Freedom was founded in June 1950 in Berlin. As Jerzy Giedroyc recounts in the accompanying video, the invitation for the representatives of "Kultura" to the organizational congress is due to their friend James Burnham, one of the initiators of the project. Participation in the Congress made it possible to establish contacts with the Western European and American intellectual world, and the cooperation resulted in, among others, the creation of a Free Europe University in Exile (FEUE) in Strasbourg for East European students. Next to it, you can see archival photos from the Congress - "Kultura" was represented, apart from Jerzy Giedroyc, by Józef Czapski.
