Opis

Juraj Bualka analyes the interplay between religion, politics and memory in the context of post-socialist transformations in south-east Poland. He shows that two Catholic churches play a crucial role in commemorations of the warfare and ethnic cleansings that took place here during and after the Second World War: while the Roman Catholic Church claims a privileged status for the Polish nation.
