About the Author Barbara Törnquist-Plewa is a professor of Eastern and Central European Studies at Lund University in Sweden.
Together these contributions offer insights into more universal questions of collective memory and the formation of national identity.
This volume brings together interdisciplinary case studies conducted in Central and Eastern European cities, exploring how present-day inhabitants "remember" past instances of Ethnic cleansing, and how they understand the Cultural heritage of groups that vanished in their wake.
Yet much less attention has been given to how these incidents persist in collective memory today.
