Academic conference marking the centenary of the Battle of Jastków

The Battle of Jastków in 1915 is one of many historical events of the First World War that contributed to the emergence of a distinct cult surrounding the First Brigade of the Polish Legions and its commander, Marshal Józef Piłsudski. On the first day of the conference, a historical panel took place, during which participants had the opportunity to watch a TVP-produced film, *Marshal’s Warsaw Addresses*, and listen to academic papers devoted to the Marshal’s life, as well as to the Legionnaires themselves – their identity and dreams of independence. The researchers’ presentations were followed by a gala dinner and a recital by Jan Konradek. The second day of the session was devoted to a tour of the beautiful town of Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec, with its museum and open-air museum.
