Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe is a polish nonprofit NGO that was founded in 1990. Its founders were Poles and Germans, protestant or catholic, who wanted to overcome the division of the european continent, as it had developed after WWII. It was important for them to create a public space, in which european relations could develop based on mutual respect, dialogue and readiness to seek reconciliation. Today Krzyżowa Foundation works in different departments: an international youth meeting centre (the biggest in Poland), a memorial, a european academy and an international conference centre.
