Andrzej Krakowski Presents: "Unknown Polish Oscar Winners" (at The Kosciuszko Foundation, NYC)

UNKNOWN POLISH OSCAR WINNERS a lecture by Prof. Andrzej Krakowski February 19, 2019 Poland admits to having eight Oscar winners, yet is silent about the remaining 28 ones. Thirty- six artists born in the territory of the present or pre-partitioned Poland have won over 60 Oscars in total. The prize itself is an idea of our compatriot. So what caused us to celebrate some winners and omit others? The Kosciuszko Foundation hosts an informative event that brings these artists into light.
