A group of law trainees at the highest state court, for the city-state of Berlin, Germany (Kammergericht) visited the IPN History Point at 21/25 Marszałkowska St. During the meeting, they had the opportunity to listen to speeches and talk with representatives of various IPN offices.

The visitors were welcomed by Joanna Kumor, Head of the Division of International Relations of the IPN Office of International Cooperation, who talked about the work, mission and tasks of the Institute of National Remembrance. The introduction was followed by a presentation prepared by Bogusław Czerwinski, Prosecutor of the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. He outlined the main tasks of the Chief Commission and cited examples of investigations, conducted by the Commission and related to communist and Nazi crimes. He discussed the challenges the prosecutors are facing with regard to people who committed crimes many years ago. The Prosecutor referred to the case of a communist General Czesław Kiszczak, whose trial was dropped due to age-related physical and mental weakness. Sometime later, photos appeared in the media showing the General playing with his dog or carrying shopping bags, and in turn an interview given to the media proved the General's good mental fitness. Bogusław Czerwiński ended the speech with a description of the trial of the murderer of Czeslaw Jan Kukuczka, who was shot while trying to cross into West Berlin. It will soon become clear whether the Stasi officer accused of Kukuczka's murder would be punished or not.

The floor was then taken by Konrad Graczyk, Ph.D., Deputy Director of the IPN Office of Historical Research, who talked about the judicial murders. He discussed the case of a Pole wrongfully executed by a German Nazi court, Ignacy Kaczmarek.  An IPN publication, Die Kämpfende Republik: Polen 1939-1945 by Dr. Maciej Korkuć, Head of the Branch Office for Commemorating the Struggle and Martyrdom in Cracow was presented to the guests.

The last part of the meeting was led by Marcin Majewski, Ph.D., Deputy Head of the Division of Research and Archival Education at the IPN Archive, who talked about the specifics of archival work and presented scans of World War II source documents as an example of the materials held by the Institute's Archive.
