The event, organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Rosario, and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of the Province of Santa Fe and the Institute of National Remembrance, was attended by: Minister of Culture of the Province of Santa Fe, Susana Rueda, MA; Secretary for International Relations of the Province of Santa Fe, Dr Claudio Díaz; Undersecretary for Cultural Programmes, Lucrecia Moras; Head of the Consular Department of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Buenos Aires, Monika Perendyk; Honorary Consul of the Republic of Poland in Rosario and Dean of the Consular Corps in Rosario, Bartłomiej Moszoro; members of the Consular Corps accredited in Rosario; and a large group of local Polish residents.

Bartłomiej Moszoro pointed out that when the current President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki became the head of the IPN in 2021, it was his flagship project, part of what we call memory policy – the need to research, analyse, document and disseminate historical facts so that they are not distorted and so that we can learn from history. Shortly afterwards, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Putin's false pseudo-historical quotes about WW2, we were able to appreciate the value of this project.
