Bronislaw Geremek is dead

A genuine hero of liberty, one of the leaders of Solidarnosc, who fought tyranny when people died at its hands, and then went on to oppose the government of free Poland when he felt it was drifting too far in the opposite direction. Every free man on Earth has lost a champion today.

"When they ask you whether the future belongs to liberty, answer them that, much more, the eternal belongs to her." (Benedetto Croce)
