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.
