New blog post (in Polish). O lwie, który zniknął

Awers i rewers pocztówki, wysłanej przez Wilibalda Oesera z Deutsch Krone do krewnej zimą 1928 roku. Na awersie projekt “pomnika lwa”.//Obverse and reverse of a postcard sent by Wilibald Oeser from Deutsch Krone to a relative in the winter of 1928. On the obverse there is a “lion monument”.

The new blog post traces back the fate of the “lion monument”, erected as a war memorial in Deutsch Krone in 1925, and toppled down in the postwar Wałcz. The author asks the question of the meanings inscribed into the monument by both, prewar German inhabitants of the town and postwar Polish inhabitants. She delves into the question of what was the aim of erecting war memorials, and what happened to the German heritage in the years following the incorporation of Central Pomerania into Poland.
