AB  - The People's Republic of Poland brought radical change to the lives of children and young people living in the Polish countryside. Though many still had the task of herding cows, their expectations and visions for the future were now very different. In texts written and submitted as part of so-called “memoir competitions”, young people wrote about these future prospects and their own upbringing.
