After 1945, Poland underwent a radical regime transformation, border realignment, and population resettlement. In this book presentation, Tim Buchen (Wrocław) will talk with Anna Holzer-Kawałko (Jerusalem) about the ambivalent history of Polish and Polish-Jewish settlers and their experiences of dealing with the loss and appropriation of material and cultural property. The chronology of how these settlers dealt with the legacy they found in their new homesteads provides a new perspective on the formation of postwar Polish society.
Anna Holzer-Kawałko’s book on this topic was published in Hebrew in the institute’s »hefez« series in 2022 and will be released in German for the book launch.
The »hefez« series is published in Hebrew and German and constitutes microstudies focusing on libraries, archives, collections, estates, as well as pictorial, architectural, and textual testimonies that embody larger cultural contexts.
