We’re excited to share that our PI, Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska, was recently featured as an expert voice in de Volkskrant, one of the leading newspapers in the Netherlands. In a special report marking 80 years since the westward shift of Poland’s borders, Karolina spoke to Arnout le Clercq about the spectral dimensions of post-displacement—how echoes of loss, memory, and the past continue to shape the present.
She reflected on how the end of World War II not only redrew borders but also uprooted millions of lives. In the article, she explained how not only authorities, but also people subjected to these changes, responded to forced migration.
The article also highlights our ongoing research into the legacies of post-displacement in Central Europe—looking at how history haunts space, material culture, and community life today.
