Doco: Polish School Strike

 

In Poland in 1901 schoolchildren and their parents protested a ruling from their German conquerors that all classes should be taught in the German language.

In April, many students (one source gives the number at 118) in the Catholic People’s School in Września, attended by about 650 pupils, refused to accept new German textbooks and to participate in the class activities. The teachers responded with detention and corporal punishment.

Here’s a clip from the making of a TV documentary “Dzieci Wrzesińskie 1901” made in Poland in 2021 recalling the events. The full documentary is here.
