This highly engaging work explores the dynamics of social memory in two small Silesian towns - Dzierżoniów and Racibórz - which became part of the Polish state after the Second World War. The authors examine how different trajectories of postwar migration shaped local collective memory about the towns' former inhabitants: Jews and Germans. ()
The comprehensive perspective, integrating both sociological and historical approaches, makes it possible to explain why the traces of Dzierżoniów's once-vibrant Jewish community have largely faded from contemporary public consciousness, whereas in Racibórz - despite many contradictions-the physical and symbolic presence of German heritage is actively maintained and remains relatively vivid.
Tomasz Rawski, University of Warsaw
The book is an interesting - and successful - attempt to analyse the construction and modification of local memory. The two cities - Racibórz and Dzierżoniów - serve as suggestive examples of how individual memories are engaged in the process of collective remembering and forgetting.
Krzysztof Wasilewski, Koszalin University of Technology
