Why Poland Still Sees Germany as an Adversary
A recent controversy in Poland has reignited deep-rooted tensions with Germany, despite the two countries drawing closer on key security matters. The uproar began over the title Nasi chłopcy ("Our boys"), used in an exhibition in Gdańsk that focused on Poles conscripted into Hitler's army during World War II. Although the exhibition aimed to explore a difficult and complex chapter of Polish history, the title triggered outrage across the political spectrum, exposing the fragile and highly politicised nature of historical memory in Poland.
