Historian Kasia Tomasiewicz discusses how to commemorate war.
Historian Kasia Tomasiewicz discusses how to commemorate war.
Reporting for her first day shadowing the curatorial team at the Imperial War Museum, Kasia found herself conflicted. Feeling awe at the size of the tanks, planes and other machines of war, and remembering the pleasurable associations from Airfix kits and games with her siblings from her own childhood, she tried to balance these feelings with the awareness that the objects also embody death and destruction. How do these different responses affect what Kasia describes as the 'pleasure culture of war'?
Producer: Giles Edwards.
