Commemoration of an expulsion can help to overcome the trauma of expelled. This is the case with the Museum of the Polish Eastern Borderland in Węgliniec, which I visited.
The history of the Museum you can read and see here. It's of course a very emotional and not professional museum, but it's interesting to see and to listen what the whole equipment, documents and photos mean for the museum's founder Alfred Janicki.
Do you have enough of your branch? Look at neighbour branches and combine yours with others. Consider where you live and look for local connections. I work on history, politics, culture and even remembrance in East Central Europe. So pictures and texts here shed light on events, researches and places related to these fields in the regional context.

Galicia and the petroleum industry
Galician poverty is a slogan from the 19th century. But not many people know that Galicia was a prosperous industry region at that time.
To get to know more about it you should read the book "Three-city in the borderland. Truskawiec - Drohobycz - Borysław" ("Kresowe trójmiasto. Truskawiec - Drohobycz - Borysław") of Sanisław S. Nicieja. It is a popular science book which shows not very known facts about the region.
