- Summary:
- "The monograph is the result of research carried out between 2014 and 2018 in historical museums in Central and Eastern Europe. The main goal of the book is to verify the thesis about the existence of supranational collective memory of societies united by the shared experience of totalitarianism. The analysis of the extensive research material allowed the author to distinguish social practices and types of exhibition. Historical policy conducted by individual states exhibits features in common, its goal being to accustom people to the difficult past, to shape the positive images of the countries and to create the cultural founding myths of the post-communist states. Historical museum exhibitions are becoming the executors of those ideas by introducing the official lines of interpretation of the communist period"-- Provided by publisher.
