World War II The Nazi regime invades Poland in 1939
Karol Wojtyla’s, later John Paul II, dreams of becoming an actor are jeopardized
All Polish expressions of art, culture, and faith are prohibited by penalty of death.
1941, Wojtyla starts the Rhapsodic Theater, an underground theater, trying to keep the Polish culture alive .
In the midst of pure evil, Karol Wojtyla fights hate with artistic expression and love.
1944: Karol Wojtyla enters
the seminary while
the Jewish culture is
being burned alive
in his own country.
“In shaping a masterpiece, the
artist not only summons his work
into being, but also in some way
reveals his own personality by
means of it.”-Pope John Paul II Letter to artists, 1999
LETTER TO ARTISTS
In 1999, pope John Paul II challenged artists to respond to the
world’s need for truth, love, and peace through the use of art.
“Mine is an invitation to rediscover the depth of the spiritual and religious dimension which has been typical of art in its noblest forms in every age.” John Paul II Letter to Artists, 1999
