The “Memory and Identity” Museum in Toruń opened its doors on October 19, 2023, i.e. a few days after the last parliamentary elections, after which it was known that PiS would lose the ability to govern. Despite this, the inauguration of the facility took place with great pomp. The institution is the result of a joint initiative of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Lux Veritatis Foundation, whose president is Father Tadeusz Rydzyk. However, much of the museum is still closed due to numerous faults.
Museum “Memory and Identity, i.e. films and performances. Religious and patriotic
Currently, the newly opened facility serves as a cinema and theater where plays and films on religious or patriotic themes are performed. There are no exhibitions inside and one wing is completely closed. .
Last weekend he decided to go to see a play intended for viewers over 15 years of age with the charming title “Rotmistrz Pilecki. Sacrifice”. Ticket prices for the 2.5-hour performance ranged from PLN 35 to PLN 39, and according to the journalist’s report, as many as 800 tickets were sold, which proves great interest. However, Lewicki was surprised by the sales system:
First, you had to call the phone number provided on the website and provide your booking details. Then we received an SMS with the account number to which the ticket funds should be transferred, we read.
The complicated ticket purchase is the beginning of the attractions. Later, you can see the frustrated Father Rydzyk with your own eyes
The last stage in this process is going to the ticket office, where you could collect your ticket only before the performance. The journalist also noticed that Father Tadeusz Rydzyk was sitting near him. Thanks to this, he could closely observe the behavior of the influential hierarch.
– The clergyman’s reactions to the play were interesting. From time to time, he became nervous and silenced the unruly spectators, we read. However, this was only the beginning of the nervous atmosphere. Later, the owner of TV Trwam got so angry that he raised his voice directly at one of the viewers whose phone was ringing.
“Turn off this phone,” Rydzyk thundered.
According to the journalist’s account, the audience consisted mainly of seniors who were not interested in the director’s speech or the actors’ performance and drowned them out. Apparently, the very presence of Father Tadeusz Rydzyk was the most important for them, because after the performance, many people approached him asking for a blessing.
