Gunther Knackstedt, German Ambassador to Poland, 92' 

"The Germans and Poles, neighbors for over a thousand years, stand presently, before an historic opportunity to the birth of a new enlarged Europe.  In this context it is important for the creation of a permanent friendship, immune to obstacles, for contacts to develop.   The creation of the International Peace Gardens is an important step on the road of better understanding between nations." Gunther Knackstedt, German Ambassador to Poland, 92'
