Pamięć `39 (Memory ’39)

Get to know the history of Poland’s 1939 war of defense!

Everyone is familiar with memory games. With their simple rules and the excitement of rivalry, memory games appeal to both children and adults, and older players do not necessarily have an advantage over younger ones. Ever since they first appeared in the 1950s, games that involve looking for pairs of identical objects have enjoyed unflagging popularity and thousands of versions have been produced. While Memory ’39 continues this long tradition, it also introduces a certain element of novelty.
Designed by the Institute of National Remembrance, this game not only improves the players’ power of concentration but also helps them to memorize the events of 1939 that are so important for Polish national identity. Memory ’39 makes use of archival photographs illustrating Poland’s 1939 war of defense. A historical commentary on each photograph is provided in the enclosed brochure. Together with the commentary, the photographs tell a short history of the September campaign. To make the distant events more vivid, the black-and-white photographs have been tinted with great attention to historical detail.

The box contains:
– 48 game cards with archival photographs
– a brochure with historical commentaries on the photographs
