Reviews

This book compellingly weaves together objects, museums, and collectors to reveal how collections shape ideological narratives in contemporary Poland, providing a nuanced analysis of contested narratives, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of history, memory, and identity. Written against the backdrop of post-1989 transformations and renewed struggles over history in the era of rising illiberalism, this book offers essential insights for scholars of Holocaust and memory studies, museum and heritage studies, East-Central European history, and anyone interested in how societies remember and misremember -and fight over-the past. -- Prof. Joanna B. Michlic, Historian, Author, and Co-editor of the Journal of Holocaust Research.
