Some 200 youth from 45 countries complete their tour from Krakow through Warsaw to Gdansk.
The journey from the ancient Polish capital of Krakow, down south, to the buzzing Baltic port city of Gdansk, up north, has been organized by the European Solidarity Center.
Some 200 youth from 45 countries followed in Krakow the favorite paths of John Paul II, the late Polish born Pope. They also went to Aushwitz, the Nazi-German death camp of World War Two and the site of the Holocaust.
While in the capital, they attended a lecture on Warsaw and were guided through Polish independence history by professor Wladyslaw Bartoszewski. The young people also visited the Museum of the Warsaw Rising of 1944. In Gdansk they are participating in a Youth Forum organized by the ESC, which is a meeting of eight hundred people from Poland and all over the world with Nobel Prize winners.
The tour guide of Solidarity Express is George Weigel.
