"An interesting thing is that we had the opportunity to hear two completely opposite approaches in just two days. I must admit that I was quite reserved regarding Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett’s approach, but she really was up to the task. After her lecture and also after reading her texts, I’m so eager to see POLIN museum next year. Probably, that will be a great opportunity for a next round of discussions."
