| Moves against Polish museum and Hungarian university stir fears of censorship Posted: 21 Jun 2017 12:45 PM PDT ![Moves against Polish museum and Hungarian university stir fears of censorship]( "Moves against Polish museum and Hungarian university stir fears of censorship") Housed in a $134-million, state-of-the-art building, Poland's Museum of the Second World War opened early this spring. The museum, which took more than five years to construct, tells the story of Poland's war experiences, which – given the way the country is sandwiched between Germany and Russia – are among the most tragic of all the conflict. The museum's acting director, Karol Nawrocki – hired when former director Pawel Machcewicz was fired, two weeks after the museum opened – has complained that the exhibits about the rise of communism are too "light," and the music is too "happy," underplaying how deeply the political ideology inflicted damage on the Polish people. He has already indicated that he will be making changes to some exhibits.
