A MAJOR NEW ACADEMIC COLLECTION:

War and Remembrance. World War II and the Holocaust in the Memory Politics of Post-Socialist Europe

Edited by Paul Srodecki and Daria Kozlova

Twelve papers in three sections: “Conceptual Frameworks”, “State Memory Narratives and their Public Perception” and “Museums, Memorials and Monuments as Controversial Objects of Cultural Memory”
