Korea-Poland Solidarity Spotlighted in Independence Movement Exhibition
Independence Hall Opens Overseas Exchange Exhibition at Museum of the Second World War
Unveils Three Original Items Showcasing Solidarity
The overseas exchange exhibition "Struggle for Freedom and Independence: Korea's Independence Movement," which introduces the history of Korea's independence movement, opened on October 28 at the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk, Poland, and will run through December 13.
The exhibition highlights independence activists and their movement during the Japanese colonial period through "Exhibition Boxes," overseas exhibition content developed by Independence Hall. An interactive program conveys the importance of the values they sought to protect through the independence movement. Three original items from Independence Hall's collection also show the solidarity between Korea and Poland during Korea's struggle against Japanese rule.
The guestbook for a ceremony held in Chongqing on March 1, 1943, to mark the 24th anniversary of Korea's Declaration of Independence bears the signature of A. H. Kochczynski, a representative of the Polish Embassy in China, on behalf of the embassy.
A letter dated July 1, 1944, under the name of Jan Fryling of the Polish Embassy, states that the embassy formally received statements and memoranda from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and expresses agreement with the contents of the Cairo Declaration.
A reply dated November 11 of the same year from Alfred Poninski, the Polish ambassador to China, thanks the Provisional Government for its letter congratulating Poland on its Independence Day and expresses solidarity with Korea in its struggle for freedom and independence.

Kim Hee-gon, director of Independence Hall, said, "It is a meaningful opportunity to introduce Korea's independence movement at the Museum of the Second World War, which presents the message of imperialist wars of aggression and the struggle against them, and to share the values of freedom, independence and peace." He added, "I hope this overseas exchange exhibition will help deepen and broaden the friendship and cooperation between our two countries, both of which achieved independence in the face of imperialist aggression."
