Only Truth Is Interesting
Welcome to PASI EDU
PASI EDU is a 501(c)(3) charitable educational organization dedicated to educating the Polish American community and American public on Polish and Polish-American history, culture, science, and relevant current events.
There is much about Poland and American Polonia of which we are justifiably proud and must be shared because it constitutes an important part of European and American history and culture. However, our review of information sources available to the public continues to reveal significant material omissions, misrepresentations, and falsifications. These sources include public school curricula and textbooks, media news outlets, popular websites, historical literature, and other public domain content. We address these deficiencies by presenting the facts and following our motto: “Only Truth is Interesting.”
Join with us and discover a wide array of important and compelling facts, many of which are little-known but remain significant because they constitute what is known to be true.
Learn About Modern Polish History, Science, and Culture
There are many significant facts about various aspects of modern Polish history, science, and culture that are little-known but have influenced our lives in different ways. We encourage everyone – students, teachers, parents, and community members – to learn more about them by joining PASI EDU and taking advantage of our educational content and materials.

Polish Sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz Showcased in Paris
An exhibition of works by Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz recently opened at the Bourdelle Museum in Paris.
It is the first major presentation of Abakanowicz’s oeuvre, organized eight years after the artist’s death and more than six decades after her debut.
The director of the Bourdelle Museum, Ophelie Ferlier-Bouat, told Polish Radio: "It’s a great event for us. At long last we are doing justice to Abakanowicz”. She added: “Initially, her links with France were very regular and lively. It was only in later years that she fell into an almost total oblivion in this country.”
Titled The Thread of Existence, the exhibition features about 80 works – sculptural installations, textiles, drawings, and photographs. They were loaned from the Marta Magdalena Abakanowicz Kosmowska and Jan Kosmowski Foundation in Warsaw, Polish museums, as well as the Toms Pauli Foundation in Lausanne, the Tate Modern in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.

In the artist’s profile, the Bourdelle Museum describes Abakanowicz as “a pioneer in contemporary sculpture and textile art […] who experienced war, censorship, and deprivation imposed by the communist regime from an early age.”
The museum website adds: “She produced immersive, poetic, sometimes disturbing and often political sculptures and textile works. Inspired by the organic world, by seriality and monumentality, her work possesses an undeniable power and presence, resonating with contemporary issues—environmental, humanistic, and feminist ones.”
Born in 1930, Abakanowicz belonged to Poland’s most renowned visual artists. She had over 100 individual exhibitions and her works are in the collections of 120 museums and private galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The artist died in 2017 at the age of 86.
The exhibition at the Bourdelle Museum runs until April 12.
