Entitled Mom, I Don’t Want War, the showcase is a joint project between Poland’s National Archives institution and its Ukrainian partners.
On display at the Ukrainian Civil Society Hub in the European Parliament complex are sketches drawn by Polish children in the aftermath of World War II and drawings made by Ukrainian kids during the Russian invasion of their country.
Opening the exhibition in the Belgian capital earlier this week, Poland's ambassador to the European Union, Andrzej Sadoś, said that "the protection of children who are victims of Russian aggression is one of Poland's foreign policy priorities."
The head of Poland’s National Archives, Paweł Pietrzyk, has said that, even though the wartime experiences of Polish and Ukrainian children are almost a century apart, they carry a similar anti-war message.
The items on display can be viewed online at momiseewar.com and on the project’s social media sites.
