Quote

I was the first candidate to come out against this war, spoke at every anti-war march.

I was opposed to World War II, and indeed on June 22, 1941 when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union I suddenly found myself the lone supporter of peace since everybody else had, because of their communist beliefs, shifted over to become supporters of the war.

I was very active in the peace movement, still am.

I lived under the Nazis and under the Communists.

I was the hero of the young insurgent working class art movement.

I was not an activist.

I followed the war wherever I could reach it.

I got into politics a little bit by chance, as a person from the first generation of the Solidarity movement.
