Local memories dismantled: reactions to de-communization in northern and western Poland

  • A new wave of de-communization has swept over Poland: streets and squares are re-named and monuments dismantled.

The article gives an insight into how local councils and citizens have struggled to comply with state history policy while also protect local historical identities.
