With Magdalena Saryusz-Wolska and Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz
In the unstable climate of the post-war period, two exhibitions – “Warszawa oskarża” (Warsaw Accuses) and “ Martyrologia i walka” (Martyrology and Struggle) – were organised that shed light on the conflicting motives of the curators. We will look into the distinct perspectives of a country that was a major arena of the Holocaust and other mass crimes, and explore how the early controversies have continued to affect current discussions.

Facing Nazi Crimes: European Perspectives after 1945
This European event series explores the social and historical contexts of the early exhibitions on Nazi crimes organised between 1945 and 1948. The series will unfold in the cities where these exhibitions were originally held – Paris, Warsaw, London, Liberec and Bergen-Belsen – and will conclude in Berlin. How did the exhibitions relate to the early visual, documentary, legal, political, and historical efforts to address the German occupation and its crimes? How were they received and what influence did they have on today’s culture of remembrance?Over the course of six evenings, key aspects of the early exhibitions – their origins and their impact – will be presented and discussed with experts from local institutions.
