Polish and Czechoslovak histories influenced each other significantly in 1968 — the Polish troops’ participation in the occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 is just an example. Both Czech and Polish historians present here the major issues of bilateral contacts and relations and their different forms. The internationals contexts are also mentioned. Most of the papers are based on recently declassified archive documents, which demonstrate the existence of a surprisingly broad resistance in Polish society against the forcible suppression of the Prague Spring. The miscellany is primarily based on papers delivered during the conference prepared by the Polish Institute of National Memory in cooperation with the ICH and the Office for Investigation and Documentation of the Crimes of Communism in Prague upon the occasion of 25th anniversary of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops.
