The Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk was opened on March 23, 2017. It is the largest historical museum in Poland and one of largest historical museums in Europe and the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In recent years, it also turned out to be the biggest battlefield in the realm of historical memory and the politics of history in Poland. This project evoked heated debates and controversies and the very opening of the museum was severely fraught, and indeed almost didn\u2019t happen, because of the counteractions by the current Polish government. The concept of the Museum of the Second World War was from the very beginning attacked by the nationalist right-wing as \u201ctoo European\u201d, \u201cpseudo-universalistic\u201d and \u201cnot Polish enough\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The crusade against the Museum could be seen as a part of a nationalistic rejection of the European perspective and part of xenophobia growing nowadays in Poland. Such an anti-European and isolationist reaction is not exclusively a Polish phenomenon, it is also happening in other European countries, but in Poland it has become especially acute and the ongoing battle around the Museum epitomizes this trend.<\/p>\n
