Poland’s Road from Oppression to Freedom
http://www.nobelforpeace-summits.org/informations/polands-road-oppression-freedom/
Under the pressure of social revolt, the communist authorities signed agreements with the striking workers. They also had to agree to register the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union “Solidarity” which was led by Lech Wałęsa for the years that followed.
“Solidarity” was not a purely trade union or worker organisation, however, as it was impossible to establish a political party then, it remained an enormous (with 10 million members) power opposing the communist system. The Polish United Worker’s Party did not tolerate this role of “Solidarity” and perceived the organisation as a great threat, especially as they had no intention to give up or share their power.
The Polish United Worker’s Party and the Soviet Union were outraged by the “Message to the working people of Eastern Europe” adopted in autumn 1981 at the First “Solidarity” Congress. In line with the Polish tradition of fighting “for our freedom and yours”, the message supported and empathised with the struggle for free trade unions in Soviet bloc states.

Easter Traditions Around the World
http://spoonful.com/easter/easter-traditions-around-world
In Poland, Easter Monday is marked by an activity known as "Śmigus-Dyngus” where people pour water all over each other. Young children run around the streets with water guns and buckets. The water is symbolic of a cleansing and rebirth as the season transitions to spring. It’s easy to have your kids try out this custom at home with any number of water games, like Fill ‘er Up, or with some plain old-fashioned water play. Just make sure you have your towels ready!
