    8 THE POLISH TRACE COMPOSED FROM COMMONLY AVAILABLE SOURCES BY LECH POLKOWSKI FOR IJCRS2017 FOREWORD It is a desire of many participants of conferences to learn as much as possible about the history and culture of he visited country and place and organizers try to satisfy this desire by providing excursions into attractive places and sites. IJCRS2017 also tries to take participants to historic sites of Warmia and Mazury and to show elements of local culture. As an innovation, we propose a booklet showing some achievements of Polish scientists and cryptographers, no doubt many of them are known universally, but some probably not. What bounds all personages described here is that they all suffered due to world wars, th efirst and the second. These wars ruined their homes, made them refugees and exiles, destroyed their archives and libraries, they lost many colleagues, friends and students but were lucky enough to save lives and in some cases to begin the career overseas. We begin with the person of Jan Czochralski, world famous metallurgist, discoverer of the technique of producing metal monocrystals `the Czochralski methode’ and inventor of duraluminum and the `bahnalloy’ who started his career and obtained its heights in Germany, later returned to Poland, became a professor at the Warsaw Polytechnical, played an important role in cultural life of Warsaw, lived in Warsaw through the second world war and the Warsaw Uprising of August-September 1944 and after the war was accused of cooperating ith occupying German forces and though judged innocent was literally erased from the public life and any information about him obliterated.

A story by the President of the Institute of National Remembrance appears in the latest instalment of the "We Are Telling the World about Poland" series. This weekend, fifty media outlets around the world are publishing “Polish Innovators Have Changed the World”, another text by Jarosław Szarek in the “We Are Telling the World about Poland” project. This initiative of the New Media Institute is supported by the IPN, Foreign Ministry, National Bank and Polish Press Agency. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia will be told about Poland, but the story is also headed for more exotic places, such as Venezuela, Kuwait or Singapore. This weekend, France will be reading it in the “Special Pologne” insert in the “L’Opinion” daily. President Szarek gives examples of Polish explorers, innovators and inventors, “Poles spurred the development of electronics, chemistry and aviation. They constructed portable mine detectors and broke the German Enigma, accelerating the end of the WW2,” writes the IPN’s President, and adds, In the early 1980s, when the world watched the struggle of Polish “Solidarity” and newspapers carried the name of John Paul II on their front pages, only few people knew that 90% of stainless steel almost everyone used daily, including in their kitchens, was produced through a process developed by the US-based Polish engineer Tadeusz Sendzimir, the “Edison of metallurgy .

By contrast, music which is popular but perceived as “bad” has generated surprisingly little interest. This dissertation looks at Polish post-socialist music through the lenses of musical phenomena that came to prominence after socialism collapsed but which are perceived as controversial, undesired, shameful, and even dangerous. They run the gamut from the perceived nadir of popular music to some works of the most renowned contemporary classical composers that are associated with the suffix -polo, an expression
