Dobra kultury z terenów Polski Zachodniej na tle dyskusji o polskich stratach wojennych

The problem of war losses in Poland has again gained wide interest in recent years. This has resulted in numerous publications, especially in the media, which, however, do not provide reliable information on the issue. The idea for writing this article, which comments on media statements, came from an exhibition of the Institute of National Remembrance entitled „The Economy of the Third Reich”. The aim of the article is to analyse the issue of wartime losses of bells from the territories annexed to Poland after 1945. This issue allows for a broader commentary on the issue of losses from these areas and the need for Polish specialists to develop substantive and legal bases for discussion in the context of Polish-German relations.
