The year 2009 will mark the 70th anniversary of the beginning of World War Two. Yet one aspect of Poland’s wartime history is hardly known to most people – the deportation, imprisonment, and other repression of the inhabitants of the Kresy, or Eastern Borderlands, on Josef Stalin’s orders, to Soviet slave labor camps and Gulags in Siberia, Kazakhstan and eastern Asia.

| "NATO in Afghanistan: Mission Impossible or a New Strategic Reality?" NATO's out-of-area mission in Afghanistan represents a great challenge for its members. Whether NATO is able to meet this test will help determine its role as a transformed alliance capable of managing future crises. As a relatively new member of NATO Poland has a large stake in the success of the ISAF mission. Mr. Sikorski will discuss Poland's role in this mission which it shares with Canada and reflect on NATO's importance in the world's new strategic security environment.
