Marcin Zaremba

Marcin Zaremba (born 1966) is a Polish historian whose work focuses on how the Communist Regime used Polish nationalism to legitimize itself. He lectures in history at the Warsaw University.

Life and career Zaremba was a student of Marcin Kula, Antonina Kłoskowska, Ireneusz Krzeminski, and Paweł Śpiewak. He received degrees in history (1992) and sociology (1999) from the University of Warsaw.

Anita J. Prazmowska reviewed the book for The American Historical Review, writing that "Zaremba introduces an entirely new analysis of the way wars impact society, and with that he challenges the notion that once military activities end, war can be considered to have, likewise ended. On the basis of Polish experiences of the immediate post war period, from 1944 to 1947, he suggests that wars damage people’s sense of equilibrium, safety, and well-being."
