:19:00
joins the battle for
a better tomorrow.
:19:23
A huge steel mill is being
built near Krakow...
:19:27
together with a new city.
:19:32
This marks the site where,
on April 26, 1950...
:19:37
the first worker began
construction.
:19:40
From across Poland, stream...
:19:43
masses of workers, including
volunteers from the Youth Union...
:19:49
and Service to Poland.
:20:08
As the city grows, so
do the people.
:20:12
They are not alone.
Management lends a hand...
:20:16
by providing...
:20:18
worker's hotels...
:20:20
where, after work, they can
relax and do some reading.
:20:25
It was here on the
building site...
:20:28
that Mateusz Birkut...
:20:30
began, together with other
young volunteers.
:20:35
Under the watchful eye of
experienced bricklayers...
:20:38
like Ozanski and others...
:20:40
he learned this demanding and
beautiful trade.
:20:44
The honorable title
"builder of Nowa Huta"...
:20:49
demands not only manual labor...
:20:51
but academic work too
and everyone can learn here.
:20:58
Mateusz Birkut took full advantage
of the opportunity.
