Historians, Government Officials Clash Over Polish History at New Museum (2017)

Really quick post, but: does this sound familiar to anyone?

«Now, reports Gera, that tussle over national identity has bled over into the museum itself. Government officials have accused museum leaders of presenting a story that is “not Polish enough,” withheld funds, and resisted its focus on other nations and civilian experiences. With the Polish court siding in the government’s favor, the museum’s fate is up in the air.»

Article from 2017, but something drove me to look this up. Maybe I’ll post on that later.
