How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

27/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain! Such is the contemporary IWM and the disjointed face it shows to a general public it intends to fleece in its gift shops!

WWII: My Tribute to the Excellent British ‘Home Guard’ (LDVF) and Some of My Published Work! (6.10.2023)

My maternal (‘Gibson’) family used to live in Lewisham, East London – until they were bombed-out by Hitler during the Blitz of September 1940 (the Blitz would go on to kill 70,000 British people between 1940-1941 – with 40,000 deaths in London alone). The Gibson family were then evacuated to the ‘Forest Hill’ area of Oxfordshire – due to them having a ‘nephew’ living in the area. In 1983, a book focusing on local history was commissioned entitled ‘Forest Hill with Shotover – A Portrait (1983)’. This was published by the ‘Forest Hill Women’s Association’. The Story of my grandfather – Arthur Gibson – and his family arriving in the area is recorded on Pages 28-29

The post discusses Alexander Werth’s book “The Year of Stalingrad” which contradicts Hitler’s presumption about non-existence of churches in Stalingrad. It also raises suspicions about the anti-Soviet propaganda spread by Joseph Goebbels, adopted by US ideologues post-1945, where Werth’s work shows the imperfections in such narratives. Werth’s book alternately portrays how the Russian Orthodox Church collaborated with the Soviet State on a non-political spiritual path.

Despite his work being overlooked due to his left-wing views and refusal to entertain anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, the narrative praises his bravery and sincerity.
