Hello! My name is Joey Abilyeu, and I am a journalist and researcher specializing in World War II history, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe. My blog, Protumjernice, was born out of a desire to understand how past events shape our present and future.
I write not only about facts and figures, but also about people: their fates, memories, and heroism, which sometimes goes unnoticed. Each article is an attempt to combine the chronicles of war with a contemporary perspective, so that the past is not just dates in a textbook, but lives on in our stories.
Here you will find reports, archival documents, research, and personal testimonies that help to see the consequences of war in human stories, politics, and culture.
My goal is to preserve memory, ask questions, and share with you what many are trying to forget. Protumjernice is a space for truth, research, and understanding how history continues to influence us.
