Expropriated Memory

The War in Spain (1936-1939)

By Marek Jan Chodakiewicz

Zagrabiona Pamiec. Wojna w Hiszpanii 1936-1939 (Expropriated Memory: The War in Spain, 1936-1939), addresses the issue of historical memory and propaganda regarding the conflict. Prof. Chodakiewicz focuses on factual and ideological distortions produced by the Communist spinmeisters persisting into contemporary times. He also retrieves from oblivion the part played by Poland and its citizens in the Spanish tragedy.
