Official silence relating to difficult pasts in Polish History inspired the Eastern Archive to launch five annual nationwide competitions between 1989 and 1993 in order to encourage eyewitnesses to record their memoirs and turn over to the archive any other private materials they were able to preserve during the years since the outbreak of World War Two.
