The foundation stone for the Polish History Museum was laid. Warsaw Ghetto Museum congratulates. The map of Warsaw museums is completed. With the participation of state and self- government authorities, clergy and directors of the museums, there was a ceremony of laying an erection act for the construction of the permanent seat of the Museum of Polish History in the Warsaw Citadel. President Andrzej Duda in a solemn letter, read by the Undersecretary of State in the Chancellery Office of the President of the Republic of Poland, Wojciech Kolarski, wrote that the citadel for 80 years filled the hearts of Poles with fear. It was a symbol of slavery and terror. And he added that only now we are faced with the chance that this space, once ominous and then overlooked, would play an important and positive role in the consciousness of Poles. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki reminded that it was Poles who gave a huge tribute of blood on all fronts of World War II, creating „the world’s largest underground state”, fighting for „freedom, dignity and humanity”. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture Piotr Gliński assessed that „there is no nation without memory”. „The wise nation nurtures this memory through institutions. Today, we are actually starting to build such an institution, building a monument of our history. For the implementation of the largest and unprecedented project in the field of museology in the history of our homeland and devoted to those times.” The tube inbuilt in the foundations of the museum contains circulation coins and banknotes, commemorative coins and banknotes of the National Bank of Poland, a copy of the Thursday edition of „Rzeczpospolita” daily as well as films and photos presenting the current state of the museum construction recorded on a USB stick. The cornerstone was blessed by Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Evangelical clergy as well as the Chief Rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich. The building of the Museum of Polish History will be located within the Warsaw Citadel premises, in the future Independence Park. There is also an existing Museum of the 10th Pavilion and the Katyn Museum and at the same time the new seat of the Polish Army Museum is being built there. .

They Fought for Independent Poland
2019 Special edition PISMO CODZIENNE Independence Day, November 11, 2019 FREE AGAIN! THEY FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENT POLAND Dear Readers, The day of November 11 – the National Independence Day – is not accidentally associated with the Polish military uni- form, its symbolism and traditions. Polish soldiers on almost all World War I fronts “threw on the pyre their lives’ fate.” When the Polish occupiers were drown- ing in disasters and revolutions, white- and-red flags were fluttering on Polish streets to mark Poland’s independence. The Republic of Poland was back on the map of Europe, although this was only the beginning of the battle for its bor- ders. Józef Piłsudski in his first order to the united Polish Army shared his feeling of joy with his soldiers: “I’m taking com- mand of you, Soldiers, at the time when the heart of every Pole is beating stron- O God! Thou who from on high ger and faster, when the children of our land have seen the sun of freedom in all its Hurls thine arrows at the defenders of the nation, glory.” He never promised them any bat- We beseech Thee, through this heap of bones! tle laurels or well-merited rest, though. On the contrary – he appealed to them Let the sun shine on us, at least in death! for even greater effort in their service May the daylight shine forth from heaven’s bright portals! for Poland. And they never let him down Let us be seen - as we die! when in 1920 Poland had to defend not only its own sovereignty, but also entire Europe against flooding bolshevism.

Stanisław Peszyński was an associate of two successive Government Delegates for Poland: Minister Jan Piekałkiewicz (murdered by the Germans in June 1943) and Deputy Prime Minister Jan Stanisław Jankowski (arrested by the Soviet security services in March 1945, tried in the Moscow trial of the leaders of the Polish Underground State, and probably murdered in a Soviet prison in 1953), as well as head of the Control Section in the Delegation. He was in fact the chairman of the Supreme Chamber of Control (NIK) in the Polish Underground State. He was shot by the Germans on 6 August 1944. The plaque was unveiled by Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance Mateusz Szpytma, Ph.D., and the NIK’s President Marian Banaś. Before the ceremony, the IPN's 'History Point' Educational Center at 21/25 Marszałkowska Street hosted a meeting during which Professor Grzegorz Nowik, head of the Polish Scouting Association, talked about Stanisław Peszyński, and Professor Jacek Sawicki from the IPN’s Historical Research Oﬃce recalled what had happened in Warsaw on 5 and 6 August 1944. The participants also discussed the cooperation between the IPN and the NIK.

Wall and Window. the Rubble of the Warsaw Ghetto As the Narrative
Wall and Window The rubble of the Warsaw Ghetto as the narrative space of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews* Konrad Matyjaszek Abstract: Opened in 2013, the Warsaw-based POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is situated in the center of the former Nazi Warsaw ghetto, which was destroyed during its liquidation in 1943. The museum is also located opposite to the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes and Martyrs, built in 1948, as well as in between of the area of the former 19th-century Jewish district, and of the post-war modernist residential district of Mu- ranów, designed as a district-memorial for the destroyed ghetto. Constructed on such site, the Museum was however narrated as a “museum of life”, telling the “thousand-year-old history” of Polish Jews, and not focused directly on the history of the Holocaust or the history of Polish antisemitism. The paper offers a critical analysis of the curatorial and architectural strategies assumed by the Museum’s de- signers in the process of employing the urban location of the Museum in the narratives communicated by the building and its core exhibition. In this analysis, two key architectural interiors are examined in detail in terms of their correspondence with the context of the site: the Museum’s entrance lobby and the space of the “Jewish street,” incorporated into the core exhibition’s sub-galleries presenting the interwar period of Polish-Jewish history and the history of the Holocaust. The analysis of the design structure of these two interiors allows to raise the research question about the physical and symbolic role of the material substance of the destroyed ghetto in construction of a historical narrative that is separated from the history of the destruction, as well as one about the designers’ responsibilities arising from the decision to present a given history on the physical site where it took place.
