Pierwszy za żelazną kurtyną. Początki Komitetu Ochrony Praw Dziecka
First Behind the Iron Curtain. The Beginnings of the Committee for the Protection of Children's Rights

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present the beginnings of the Committee for the Protection of Children's Rights - a unique grassroots initiative in the Polish People's Republic and the first social organisation of this type in Central and Eastern Europe. The founder and leader of the circle around the Committee, Maria Łopatkowa, will also be presented. The text outlines the background to the conflict between the Committee's leadership and the party and government authorities of the Polish People's Republic, especially the Ministry of Education. The innovative study, based on largely unknown archives, highlights the evolution and transformation of social awareness of children's rights and the pioneering role of the Committee in this field.
