Ewa Thompson: Polish History and Hope for the West

In this episode, Robert Mixa and Andrew Petiprin talk to Professor Ewa Thompson about key moments in European history when Poland came to the defense of Christendom, how non-Germanic Central Europe seemed to be excised by historians of various empires from the annals of history, the Polish literature that shaped the Catholic imagination and spirituality of John Paul II, the legacy of Sarmatism and Catholic freedom, and the long history of Russian imperialism.
