Metals-Magazine- 10-1-2021 ISSUE 10 | FEBRUARY 2021 INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE METALS INDUSTRY SEAMLESS SUPPORT THROUGHOUT 2020 DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN METALS PRODUCTION DISCOVERING THE CRACOW COMPANY LOCATION The challenging situation in 2020 also prompted “ unexpected rewards— and even some techno- logical breakthroughs.” 3 EDITOR'S COLUMN DEAR READER, I'll let you into a secret: I did not want to turn this issue of Metals Magazine into a "Covid edition." I felt that, by the time you held your copy in your hands, the pandemic might have taken its toll on you one way or another, and that you'd probably rather have Primetals Technologies discuss more positive subject matter. But as 2020 pro- gressed, I realized two things. One, there was just no getting around what had become the "elephant in the room" in my concept for this edition. To not address the effects of this global crisis became more unfathomable as the year went on. Two, the challenging situation also prompted unexpected rewards—and even some techno- logical breakthroughs. To give you an example: together with you, our partners in the industry, we developed new forms of remote collaboration using various kinds of digi- tal tools. We were able to keep projects going and to execute equipment startups from afar. These achieve- ments ensured business continuity for all of us, and while I believe that we'll be profiting from what we've learned for years to come, the new ways of working clearly origi- nate from the situation we were facing—namely, Covid. Having shared this story with you, I'd like to continue on a more personal note. Over the last few months, I have seen some darkness, but also much light. I have DR. TOM WIDTER had friends struggle with isolation and with their mental EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, METALS MAGAZINE health. I have seen colleagues worry about the wellbeing of their parents or grandparents. But I also know several couples who, having each been together for decades, finally decided to get married or to have children. It seems to me that the experience of 2020 has reminded us of the things that really matter. It has assured us that, after the darkness, there will be light. The cover of this magazine underlines this idea: if "charged" with UV-rich light, it glows in the dark. Let those close to you know that you care. And then, with that emotion, I suggest that you do what we all do best—pioneer the future of metals.

A story by the President of the Institute of National Remembrance appears in the latest instalment of the "We Are Telling the World about Poland" series. This weekend, fifty media outlets around the world are publishing “Polish Innovators Have Changed the World”, another text by Jarosław Szarek in the “We Are Telling the World about Poland” project. This initiative of the New Media Institute is supported by the IPN, Foreign Ministry, National Bank and Polish Press Agency. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia will be told about Poland, but the story is also headed for more exotic places, such as Venezuela, Kuwait or Singapore. This weekend, France will be reading it in the “Special Pologne” insert in the “L’Opinion” daily. President Szarek gives examples of Polish explorers, innovators and inventors, “Poles spurred the development of electronics, chemistry and aviation. They constructed portable mine detectors and broke the German Enigma, accelerating the end of the WW2,” writes the IPN’s President, and adds, In the early 1980s, when the world watched the struggle of Polish “Solidarity” and newspapers carried the name of John Paul II on their front pages, only few people knew that 90% of stainless steel almost everyone used daily, including in their kitchens, was produced through a process developed by the US-based Polish engineer Tadeusz Sendzimir, the “Edison of metallurgy .

  • Visaginas, Tychy, and Nowa Huta
    SLOVO, Vol. 24, No. 1 (Spring 2012), 41-57. Coping with the Unwanted Past in Planned Socialist Towns: Visaginas, Tychy, and Nowa Huta RASA BALOCKAITE Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania The article examines three cases of planned socialist towns: Visaginas in Lithuania and Tychy and Nowa Huta in Poland. The planned socialist towns, products of the socialist urban planning, were known as the workers‟ towns in the workers‟ state and as the outposts of socialism. After the fall of their respective socialist regimes, however, it became necessary to redefine the identities of these towns in order to cope with the socialist past. While the issue of socialist heritage has been researched by scholars, this research addresses an existing gap in the theory – how socialist heritage is presently used in those planned socialist towns that have little other symbolic recourse available. This paper examines the content of various institutionally produced materials, such as websites, tourism brochures, photo albums, and guided tours. The research reveals different strategies used in planned socialist towns to redefine their identities: i) active forgetting of the socialist past; ii) commercialization of the socialist past via tourism; iii) ironic imitation of the West, vis-à-vis de–ideologized images of “green and young” towns; and iv) bifurcation of consciousness into private remembrance and public forgetting of the past. The article presents the findings of the research project, „Transformations of the Socialist Urban Utopias‟, funded by CERGE-EI (Centre for Economic Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute) Foundation, Prague, Czech Republic. INTRODUCTION From 1917 to 1990, socialist authorities built many so-called planned socialist towns across the Eastern bloc, both in the USSR and in the satellite socialist states of Central and Eastern Europe.

Since socialism’s collapse over two decades ago, Poland has undergone dramatic political, economic and social changes. However, the past continues to enter into current politics, economic debates and social issues. This work examines the changes that have taken place by looking at how socialism is remembered two decades after its collapse in the Polish former “model socialist town” of Nowa Huta. It explores how ideas about the past are produced, reproduced and contested in different contexts: in Nowa Huta’s cityscape, in museums, commemorations, and the town’s steelworks (once the cornerstone of all social life in town), as well as in the personal accounts and recollections of Nowa Huta residents of different generations.

The New Town was founded in 1949 as workers’ housing and facilties for Poland’s fi rst integrated steel plant, the Lenin Steelworks (Huta imiena Lenina or ‘HiL’). Over the last two decades there has been a growing interest in Nowa Huta and other socialist New Towns from the 1950s. Most of the research focuses on the fascinating planning process of the gründerzeit and Nowa Huta’s connection to the development of the new Republic of Poland and its ideals. But despite this interesting history, Nowa Huta is not yet a popular area for tourists to visit—although this is slowly changing. One of the reasons may be that Nowa Huta is not included in most of the regular tourist guides.
