Rebellious Satellite
"Rebellious Satellite: Poland 1956 relates the social history of the protests and mass movements that ultimately changed Polish politics and Polish-Soviet relations in 1956, yet avoided an armed Soviet response. Pawel Machcewicz focuses on people's expression of grievances, and even riots, rather than on "top-level" activities such as internal Communist Part struggles, as he carefully depicts the protests that took place in Poznan in June 1956 and across Poland the following October and November." "Based largely on newly available Party and security apparatus documents, which were originally prepared to inform Poland's Party leadership about what was happening on the ground, the book also includes an illuminating selection of photographs from Poznari in June 1956 taken secretly by the police."--Jacket.
The war that never ends
The story of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk 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”. Paweł 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.

Zgładzeni w obozach śmierci, zagłodzeni w gettach, zabici podczas czystek etnicznych, rozstrzelani w publicznych i potajemnych egzekucjach, spaleni żywcem we własnych domach, piwnicach i stodołach, spopieleni podczas bombardowań... Katalog zbrodni drugiej wojny światowej zdaje się nie mieć końca. Ile jest ofiar? Nawet nie umiemy tego policzyć! Dziesiątki milionów... Większość spośród nich to cywile. Ci, którzy przeżyli, wychodzą z konfliktu nie z bliznami, ale z otwartymi ranami, Zanim się zagoją, potrzebna jest sprawiedliwość, albo choć odwet i zemsta. Bo be...
