Anti-corruption officers have visited the home of the former director of a major new World War II museum, who is embroiled in a conflict with Poland's populist government over the ideological message of the institution. Pawel Machcewicz said Wednesday that two representatives of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau visited his Warsaw home Tuesday evening. He said he saw it as an attempt by the authorities to frighten him because they find him politically inconvenient. Long before coming to power in 2015, leaders of the ruling Law and Justice party vowed to change the museum if they ever won power. He said he considered the visit "harassment and intimation against me for trying to defend the exhibition."
