Polish History Museum
Warszawa, Poland
Solidarity was born as the result of a nationwide strike in August 1980 in the V. Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk. The shipyard workers went on strike in a gesture of solidarity with two colleagues who had been sacked from their jobs: Anna Walentynowicz and Lech Wałęsa. They lost their jobs because they were active in illegal trade unions.
