Speakers representing various generations took part in the panel discussion during the scientific session on the antecedents of March. The discussion was monitored by Helena Datner. Historian of social thought Jerzy Szacki was in the midst of the developments as deputy dean of Warsaw University's Faculty of Philosophy. Pawel Spiewak was going to school at the time, and for Marta Bucholc and Joanna Kusiak, who were born after 1968, those developments are but a historic episode. The emphasis in the statements made by the invited speakers and members of the audience was on the significance of the March 1968 events for the development of the political consciousness of the Polish intelligentsia.
