In the name of the national socialist ideology, German scholars and cultural personalities weeded out Polishness from the history of Gniezno during the Nazi occupation (1939-1945). Consequently, in their perception, culture was only a weapon in the struggle to strengthen the process of Germanization. Their reinterpretation of the city’s history, mendacious and incoherent as it was, provided a basis of the cultural policy addressed exclusively to the German population. The process of strengthening Germanization involved both the mass culture (e.g. movie projections) and the high culture as well as the unfulfilled idea of a regional museum.
