This volume's essays explore these and other aspects of the arts and cultural life ..."

Récemment, ce passé a ressurgi dans le débat public. La découverte du massacre de Jedwabne, bourgade de l’est du pays où, en juillet 1941, la population juive fut assassinée par la population polonaise, a suscit ..."
