The (lack of) knowledge about German war crimes. A lot was written and spoken about the crimes of the Third Reich during the Communist era – although in accordance with the official narration. After 1989, the memory about them gradually withered and a generation gap was created among its researchers. It’s dangerous, especially in light of the aggressive historical policy of Germany. -What did your father do during the war? - He was lucky enough not to had been sent to the front. He served in a reserve Wermacht company at Hannover. In the kitchens. - Like everyone – commented Boznański. - It was an especially large kitchen with especially huge number of people. - Yes, I’ve been travelling across Germany for so many years and never have I met any relatives of the officers of the SS who served in Warsaw, first slaughtered 200 thousand people in a few weeks, then burned the entire city down, and finally took Wyczółkowski as a souvenir so their grandchildren could erase the signatures a few decades later and, with the help of some experts, earn a proper coin for holidays in Thailand. Such dialogue between a Polish and German art dealer can be found in the latest thriller by Zygmunt Miłoszewski, entitled Priceless. The novel tells the story of a search for the Portrait of a Young Man by Raphael, the number one on the list of Polish war losses1.
