Eastern European museums represent traumatic events of World War II, such as the Siege of Leningrad, the Warsaw Uprisings, and the Bombardment of Dresden, in ways that depict the enemy in particular ...ways. This image results from the interweaving of historical representations, cultural stereotypes and beliefs, political discourses, and the dynamics of exhibition narratives. This book presents a useful methodology for examining museum images and provides a critical analysis of the role historical museums play in the contemporary world. As the catastrophes of World War II still exert an enormous influence on the national identities of Russians, Poles, and Germans, museum exhibits can thus play an important role in this process.

In studies of a common European past, there is a significant lack of scholarship on the former Eastern Bloc countries. While understanding the importance of shifting the focus of European memory ...eastward, contributors to this volume avoid the trap of Eastern European exceptionalism, an assumption that this region's experiences are too unique to render them comparable to the rest of Europe. They offer a reflection on memory from an Eastern European historical perspective, one that can be measured against, or applied to, historical experience in other parts of Europe. In this way, the authors situate studies on memory in Eastern Europe within the broader debate on European memory.
In the vast literature on how the Second World War has been remembered in Europe, research into what happened in communist Poland, a country most affected by the war, is surprisingly scarce. The long ...gestation of Polish narratives of heroism and sacrifice, explored in this book, might help to understand why the country still finds itself in a «mnemonic standoff» with Western Europe, which tends to favour imagining the war in a civil, post-Holocaust, human rights-oriented way. The specific focus of this book is the organized movement of war veterans and former prisoners of Nazi camps from the 1940s until the end of the 1960s, when the core narratives of war became well established.
The Durkheimian School of sociology was one of the most comprehensive programmes ever developed in the social sciences. This article contributes to those accounts of the School that discuss its ...intergenerational, interdisciplinary and international transformations after the Great War. From this perspective, the article presents the case of a Polish scholar, Stefan Czarnowski (1879–1937), whose early work on the cult of St. Patrick in Ireland became one of the Durkheimian classics on social integration. In the interwar period Czarnowski argued against race studies and anti-social concepts of culture and called for sociologically grounded comparative world history ordered around the notions of class and work. More generally, Czarnowski’s reconfiguration of Durkheimian universal principles in the specific location of East Central Europe calls for a deeper historicisation of the Durkheimian School as a movement in international social sciences.

Critical brain injury can lead to brain death, which is medically and legally considered the death of an individual. Further therapy is discontinued, unless organ donation is possible or brain death ...occurs in a pregnant woman.
A 30-year old woman at 22 weeks gestation developed a subarachnoid haemorrhage from a ruptured cerebral artery aneurysm. The patient was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition. On treatment day 3, the symptoms of brain death occurred. Due to possible complications, the apnoea test and instrumental examinations were not performed. Therapy maintaining vital functions was carried out in order to sustain the pregnancy. The patient was ventilated, received cardiac-supportive drugs, hormone replacement therapy, enteral and parenteral feedings and systemic infections were treated as well. At the beginning of the 27th week of gestation, massive bleeding from the airways developed. A Caesarean section was performed, and a female neonate was born, birth weight 680 g, the Apgar scores 4, 6 and 6 at 1st, 5th and 10th minute, respectively. After 3.5 months, the baby was discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Her development at the age of 8 months is normal.
The case described and similar cases reported in the literature demonstrate that the maternal brain death is an interdisciplinary medical challenge. Thanks to intensive care techniques, maternal somatic functions can be maintained, and a healthy child can be delivered.
This article has two main objectives. First, it proposes an analytical framework for how to explore “narratives of return” as policy proposals and tools of memory politics. Second, it reveals ...coexisting versions of “return” advocated by three Polish political actors: the populist right-wing Law and Justice party (“Return” to the Nation), Catholic activists (“Return” to Religion), and representatives of liberal feminism (“Return” to Women’s Rights). The case material consists of four policy proposals relating to either family or women’s reproductive rights. The article shows that all analyzed political narratives of return have used some variation of the discourse on victimhood, and all of them mean to terrify and raise fear. The policy proposals draw on Polish collective memory and, specifically, on the politics of memory of the post-1989 transformation.
