Polish remembrance of World War II

Article Abstract:

The special characteristic of Polish memory of World War II is that it is a fragmented memory divided into two different experiences, one being the Soviet occupation in the eastern part of prewar Poland and the other, the German occupation in the western part of Poland. Surveys carried out from 1965 to 2004 have demonstrated that memories of World War II occupy a central place in the consciousness of Poles, and the War gives them reason to be proud and few see any cause for shame.
