The planet War II Museum Directorate nominated by the Coalition on December 13 in a barbaric manner removed materials from the exhibition concerning the captain Pilecki, St. Father Maximilian Kolbe and Blessed Ulmów Family. Tusk's nominees despite many protests, including the coalition PO, Kosiniak Kamysz, stated that the exhibitions would not return. Well, we'll see, after all, the po regulation won't last forever.
To learn the format of these "museum professionals", it is worth examining their arguments.
And so was the erstwhile manager of the facility, you (because the title of prof. obliges, so I think I'll skip it) Paweł Machcewicz, stated, erstwhile asked about the restoration of Polish heroes to the museum exposition, stated, "of course not." First, he believes that he is restoring the first form of the exhibition. Perhaps, but let us remember that the first form of the exhibition was created during Tusk's first regulation and was subordinate not to Polish and German historical politics. Even then there were protests against censorship of the Polish contribution to WWII at the expense of glorification, for example, the trauma of alleged "exile Germans". He accuses the authorities of exhibitions during the regulation of the Law and Justice to submit to political pressures and insert elements of vulnerability on their instructions. but he created an vulnerability he had to simply replenish. Complete, due to the fact that she created a communicative on order of power that placed him and his associates in positions. They weren't political? You got to be kidding me.
In relation to the Ulmów Family, he formulated the following sentence: "The addition of the Ulm household to this communicative in the form in which the directorate appointed by the PiS politicians did so is falsifying reality. A completely fresh installation was added, which was set up in an unintended place. She stood in the hall, which tells about the apocalypse, about Auschwitz, and so completely storms the narrative. It's shameful from an exhibition point of view. And the very way of presenting the Ulm household besides distorts historical reality”
And here, I may have partially agreed with him, although that was most likely not his intention. The Ulmów household was wrongly added to the hall talking about the Holocaust in Auschwitz. She deserved her own separate room. But you can see that there was no more freedom in the Museum. But the next message to justify the removal of the Ulms tells fundamentally everything about this gentleman: "Because it unambiguously suggests that Ulmów's attitude was attended by the majority of Polish society [...] The message that was attempted to present, placing Ulms there, is simply not real". Which is what? Is the message of Kosiński and akin writers about Poles as a nation of looters true? If Mr. Machcewicz feels like specified a legacy, that's his business. But why transfer his own traumas to Poles who in their majority did not spend judaic neighbors, and in a large part they saved their lives.
He besides writes that: "A large part of the changes that were introduced after the removal from the museum from its creators was just to force spiritual themes". Why not? Did the Nazis, as promoters of pangerman cults, not persecut Christians? Were they not any of the most persecuted and murdered in our lands? In this Catholic, due to the fact that in the end Poland was mostly inactive Catholic. Mr. Machcewicz wants to banish Christianity? Religion? Is he on the side of Nazi spiritual exterminators? due to the fact that creating a gap is not conducive to truth. People turned to religion during the war and died for it and no leftist communicative will change that. And Saint, Father Maximilian Kolbe was not arrested by the Germans for his faith, but for his national activity, for forming a nation in a spiritual and patriotic spirit, which was served by his many publishing houses. Even, preparing for his arrest, Germany, in a propaganda press article accuses him that in a printshop found in Niepokalanów's draft calendar for 1940, a Polish soldier facing west appears on the cover. And the fact that St. Maximilian decided to give his life for his fellow prisoners actually a decision resulting from his deep faith. Is this a peculiar discrimination for Father Maximilian, as Mr Machcewicz believes? Probably. But if he wants to bring past to a grey mass of people, he seems to forget that it's made up of millions of individuals. A professional unit that speaks to people individually. Individually, not as a grey mass, so it is desirable to present even single examples. Does Mr. Machcewicz find it reprehensible? I'm not asking if he would be able to decide for a akin motion as Father Maximilian himself.
Another example of ways of reasoning the denominations of the Coalition on December 13 is the Knajack message by Mr. Rafał Wnuk, the current manager of the Museum of the Second WW. relating to changes in the Museum made in the times of the Law and Justice:
"Imagine the conflict of Grunwald, where a cartoon lover throws Superman or the Prusian Hould, where individual paints Miki Mouse, due to the fact that he thinks Mickey Mouse should fit. This kind of action we have on this display and yes, I confirm, this kind of Mickey Mouse, this kind of Superman we will effort to clean out of the full story"
For Mr. Grandson, Polish heroes are Mickey Mouse. This already expresses his contempt for Polish heroes. He should be out of position with a bang. Additionally, he shows involuntaryly that he knows small about the works he cites, and especially about "The conflict of Grunwald". If he thinks that Pilecki, Ulmów or Father Maximilian at the exhibition of Museum II WŚ, let him announcement how many elements placed on it do not fit the image "The conflict of Grunwald". Only a fewer of them: Master Ulrych von Jungingen Litwin kills with the spear of St. Mauryce, a gift of Emperor Otto III to Boleslaw Chrobry. Another attacking Master is simply a man in a hangman's outfit. There are respective characters in the painting who did not participate in the battle. But there is besides a knight in the Hussar armor, which at that time the dahliagod could not be. All these are symbols that Matejko put in his image, even against facts, to rise his speech sustaining the spirit in Poles.
In the case of Museum II WW. specified treatments do not request to be used. We have adequate real national heroes to be exposed in this museum. However, Mr. Grandson has decided to remove them. I don't know why, possibly he wants to get into the superfluous shoes of Mika Mouse and from the museum, which should give reliable cognition of facts, form the attitudes of Poles and build their pride out of his own history, he wants to make another institution to blur us in the "tig of Europe" and bring us to the function of compplexed, tiny "polacks".
I'm not going to a museum like this. I'll wait for the times erstwhile the fact will return to its walls.
