Machcewicz, Pawe�, 1966-
The war that never ends : the Museum of the Second World War in Gda�nsk / Pawe� Machcewicz ; translated by Anna Po�apska Adamek (in cooperation with Bryan Dewalt and David Monaghan) - 1 online resource (x, 194 pages) : illustrations - Public History in International Perspective ; volume 2 .
Includes bibliographical references and index
It all started with an article ... -- Museum, but what museum? -- "Disintegration of the Polish nation" -- History museums: between collective imagination and politics -- The first months at the office of the prime minister -- Assembling the Gda�nsk team -- Architecture, archeology, and construction -- Building the collection and planning the exhibitions -- The academic advisory committee, or a multitude of perspectives -- From the concept to the exhibitions and everything in between -- Before the storm -- "The Polish point of view" -- Minister Gli�nski comes at night -- The race against time -- Parliamentary committee on culture: hunting for "encyclopedists" -- Reviewers unmasked -- Stalingrad instead of Blitzkrieg -- The finale
The story of the Museum of the Second World War in Gda�nsk epitomizes one of the most important and dramatic clashes in the European culture of memory and public history in last decades. The museum became the arch-enemy for the nationalist right-wing as "cosmopolitan", "pseudo-universalistic", "pacifistic" and "not Polish enough". Pawe� Machcewicz, historian and museum`s founding director, was removed from his position by the Law and Justice government immediately after opening the museum to the public. In his book he presents this story as a part of cultural wars that tear apart not only Poland but also many countries in Europe and on other continents
