The Law and Justice party won the elections by an absolute majority with a programme that promotes a united and pure Poland. Demonstrations by followers of the right-wing parties are proliferating, demanding a Poland free of immigrants and criticizing European policies on refugees. In this environment, popular initiatives and NGOs are emerging that are fighting for a more tolerant and multicultural Poland. One of these initiatives is the Wroclaw Human Library. The Human Library is an educational initiative that turns people into books, living books with a common denominator: discrimination.

In a country that is little accustomed to diversity, this library is an opportunity to combat discrimination. See less
