This episode presents Jan Grabowski: both a leading thinker and actor in Poland’s ‘history wars’. Prof. Grabowski (Uni. of Ottawa) has faced legal action in Poland over his research into Holocaust history, but recently won (August 2021) a court case on appeal. We delve into his personal experience and the wider mechanisms behind Poland’s current illiberal drive in a wide-ranging conversation on history, memory and politics with Dr Robert Pyrah.
