The Devil Next Door
Rather than theoretical or abstract, above all else, this monograph endeavors to serve as a practical guide, a handbook for helping us navigate a dark terrain. It neither presumes to examine the sources of evil nor suggest radical cures. These pages strive only to continue the process of naming the signs of individual evil that we might recognize these persons before they inflict even more damage. Scott Peck says it best. “If evil were easy to recognize, identify, and manage, there would be no need for this book.” Of course, he was referring to his own pioneering treatise; given the realities of our day, the need remains as great as ever.

Museums, Monuments, and Memory in Poland
Demonstrates how museums, public monuments and private collections in Poland generate competing interpretations of the past-particularly the Holocaust. Highlights political tensions and offers universal insights into the power of curated memory. Even before the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk opened its doors to the public in 2017, its exhibits sparked fierce political debate in the Polish parliament. It was attacked for being "cosmopolitan" and for lacking "a Polish point of view." Museums, Monuments, and Memory in Poland offers a wide-ranging examination of how contemporary Poland uses collections-public museums, monuments arranged as archives of memory, and private accumulations-to shape ideological narratives. The book argues that such collections, whether state-curated or deeply personal, reveal how historical memory is constructed, contested, and deployed in today's polarized political landscape. Rooted in intellectual history, this work engages with Polish history and ongoing debates about the memory of the Holocaust. It also offers a universal reflection on how museums, public spaces, objects, and narratives carry ideological potential far beyond Poland's borders. Beginning with the first museum created on Polish soil and ending with the newest, the book examines museums and monuments as narratives and the possibility that objects speak independently of curatorial intent. It finally turns to the psychology of collecting, from private art collections to filmmakers' personal archives. The study reveals both elements of Polish exceptionalism and broader truths about how societies tell their stories through the collections they curate.
