With insightful country-by-country chapters, the book invites a lucid approach to the contemporary psychological and moral dilemmas regarding the necessary, though often thorny, coming to terms with the past. * Vladimir Tismaneanu, Professor of Politics, University of Maryland, USA * This volume is a wonderful guide through the maze of contested memories of Communism in east-central and eastern Europe. It presents geographically varied case studies, and intimately connects memory debates with anti-Communist sentiment, vernacular nationalisms, and the rise of right-wing populisms over the last decade. It is testimony to the power of scholarship to intervene, through sharp analysis, in those memory debates and act as a counterforce to those right-wing populist nationalisms that are currently endangering democracies across east-central and eastern Europe - and not only there * Stefan Berger, Professor of History and Director of the Institute for Social Movements, House for the History of the Ruhr, Germany * Eastern Europe is a place where history really matters. It evokes heated passions and conflicts, both within nations and between states. History is often instrumentalized by political movements and governments, exploited to build legitimacy or to castigate opponents. And historical museums are at the forefront of this battlefield. This book greatly helps understand the complicated and fascinating East European memory landscape and the pivotal role the museums play in it. * Pawel Machcewicz, Professor of History, Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences * This book is an indispensable guide to the complexities of the post-communist efforts to institutionalise, through museums and exhibitions, various memories of the defunct dictatorial regimes. * Vladimir Tismaneanu, Professor of Politics, University of Maryland, USA * Occupation and Communism in Eastern European Museums is a wonderful testimony to the power of scholarship to intervene, through sharp analysis, in memory debates and act as a counterforce to those right-wing populist nationalisms that are currently endangering democracies across east-central and eastern Europe - and the wider world. * Stefan Berger, Professor of History and Director of the Institute for Social Movements, House for the History of the Ruhr, Germany * Eastern Europe is a place where history really matters: it evokes heated passions and conflicts, both within nations and between states, and museums are at the forefront of this battlefield.
