This is an automatically translated description

Martin Pollack's collection of essays, Poisoned Landscapes, is dedicated to the culture of memory - to the hundreds of thousands of nameless victims of twentieth-century bloody regimes or everyday hatred whose graves are hidden in anonymity, camouflaged by picturesque landscapes or simply planted with vegetables. Analysing the experience of his own childhood, as well as stories and testimonies from Central and Eastern Europe, the writer comes to the conclusion that the seemingly untouched nature around us is a terrain of forgetfulness and abdication of responsibility that we must resist.
