Was folgt nach Versöhnung, Dialog und Ressentiment? Am 29.6. diskutiere ich den Stand der Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und #Polen am ColPol mit Karolina Wigura, Lidia Zessin-Jurek & Markus Nesselrodt

Failed wartime solidarity of ethnic Poles towards Jewish Poles has now become a political issue - the cause of a deep feud between historians of the war period and the conservative PL gov. My few words on the postwar disidentification of Jewish Poles with their country of origin.

Prompted by Felix Ackermann critical discussion on German-Polish reconciliation - join us tomorrow 11.15 for a livestream!

On the occasion of Lech Wałęsa's 80th birthday today - my piece on his contested legacy in Poland newfascismsyllabus.com/contributions/…

Il 29 settembre l’ex leader di Solidarność, Lech Wałęsa compie 80 anni. Per Wałęsa, uomo di compromessi, non c’è infatti posto nell’attuale Polonia di Kaczyński, populista e autoritaria. Vi invito a leggere il mio breve testo micromegaedizioni.net/2023/09/28/lec…

Zu den Gründen für die Popularität der extremen Rechten in Polen wenige Tage vor den bereits historischen Wahlen, mein Beitrag ab der 15. Minute. ardaudiothek.de/episode/weltze…

Honoured to take part in a discussion with the filmmakers #Ukosświatła on grassroots memory activism and Jewish heritage in Poland.

More difficult than before, but all the more important today to talk about the relationship between Holocaust Remembrance and Human Rights. Thank you, Kazerne Dossin, Arnon Grunberg, and Everyone for your commitment and inspiration

The special section of "Migration Studies - Review of Polish Diaspora" on discourse about the humanitarian crisis on the PL-BY border is out! In the following days we will present specific articles, but now we invite you to read the entire issue: bit.ly/3wPOn7Y

Last but not least, Lidia Zessin-Jurek deepens the focal analysis of this special section by exploring the question of how the crisis has been discursively normalised. Asking about “Western morality,” she offers an inquiring reversal of the word “vulnerable”: bit.ly/4csWXtI
