Studies on History and Memory Areas. Yearbook of the KL Plaszow Memorial Museum
The planned third volume of „Studies on History and Memory Areas. Yearbook of the KL Plaszow Memorial Museum” („Studia nad Obszarami Historii i Pamięci. Rocznik Muzeum KL Plaszow”) is planned to be published in October 2026. The volume will focus on presenting an interdisciplinary approach to the topic of “life after life” in the historical camps operated during World War II, as well as memorials and museums.
We aim to publish articles explaining how former German Nazi labour, concentration, and extermination camps in Poland and generally in Europe were preserved, protected or used, and what differences existed in this respect between Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc countries – considering e.g. the question of continued coercive functions of the camps, their use for current political purposes, and the commemoration policy.
Another topic of crucial importance to us is the transformation of post-camp areas into memorial sites: what were the methods used, what was the reception of those projects (by the former prisoners, witnesses of history, people of science and arts), and what was the public response, also from the local community. We also invite articles on the former camps as sites that pose challenges to those working in heritage preservation and archaeology.
We will receive articles for the Yearbook’s third edition until 15 December 2025.
Please send your text in the MS Word format to: redakcja@plaszow.org.
The authors of articles qualified for publication will receive remuneration.
