K. Matyjaszek
ABSTRACT Matyjaszek’s article discusses a set of reactions by Polish émigré cultural and political activists in the United States to the screening of the NBC television series Holocaust: The Story of the Family Weiss on 16–19 April 1978. It offers an analysis of the emergence of Holocaust history as a source of collective identity and memory in western societies, and as a part of popular culture. The end of the 1970s witnessed a series of cultural and political events as well as the publication of scholarly texts that put images of the mass murder of the European Jews at the centre of North American and global debates on identity and history as well as their political uses. In his analysis of reactions by Polish intellectuals and community leaders, Matyjaszek examines the cultural position of members of the post-war Central-Eastern European intelligentsia in the United States, both in relation to their own reference group’s painful and violent history, and to their position within the North American society of the time. In a critical evaluation of contemporary uses of the concepts of ‘bystander’ and ‘survivor’ with regard to the Holocaust, he focuses on a set of documents stored in the private archive of Jan Nowak-Jeziorański (Ossoliński Institute, Wrocław, Poland), as well as on published documents and correspondence.

H. Green
ABSTRACT In response to the 2020 murder of George Floyd amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, protestors, government officials and institutional leaders removed Confederate monuments in the American South at a staggering pace. After extending their gaze to Christopher Columbus, Edward Colston and other monuments, additional removals and promises for removal and/or renaming occurred across the United States and the world. This third wave of the Confederate monument removal craze created an urgency to document and visualize its scope. Drawing on her Monument Removals mapping project, Green provides the numbers, context and spatial understanding of the recent revision to the commemorative landscape in the United States and global Black Lives Matter responses. Anti-black violence has shaped the removal trends from the Charleston Massacre to George Floyd. With over 240 monuments removed in the United States, the third (post-George Floyd) phase, moreover, represents a significant corrective that cannot be easily dismissed, just as the global anti-racist responses cannot be ignored. Green contends that additional scholarly attention is required, especially with regard to the history of monuments and the power dynamics influencing removal. Since communities are still engaged in the revision process, the resulting work has consequence for communities and scholars.

ABSTRACT This introduction to the forum outlines the events in Bristol that led to the discussion in the following pages, and makes the argument that, however satisfying it might be to remove celebratory monuments to figures nowadays deemed personae non grata, there are hidden dangers in too zealous an effort to correct urban memory landscapes. Eradicating the celebratory memorialization of those linked to colonial and imperial crimes, of which slavery is the quintessence, may endanger the project of convincing our fellow citizens that contemporary reparation for historic wrongdoing is fair and just.

M. Richards
ABSTRACT Richards’s article is a reflection on comparative history inspired by the pulling down of the statue of the slave-trader Edward Colston in Bristol in June 2020. It explores the evolution in Spain of state policies and civil society activism to do with public spaces and symbolic objects related to the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship. First, the performative element of the Bristol protest invites analogy with celebrations in public spaces of the arrival through the ballot box in 1931 of the reforming Second Republic, a democratic regime subsequently overthrown in the civil war. Second, the dialectic of remembering and forgetting British imperialism and the slave trade is compared to the struggle to make the past visible in post-war Spain in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Bringing the concealed past into open discourse in Spain through civil society activism since 2000 has been focused on three elements: making public the affective consequence of significant objects; gaining the support of politicians with access to the state; and broadening youthful activism to encompass supranational needs based on human rights and the environment. The argument is that conflict over collective memory in the twenty-first century is largely one between backward-looking narratives of the nation and forward-oriented ideas and practices that eclipse the national by linking the local and the global.
