Abstract:
The author attempts not only to provide a more in-depth commentary on the frameworks of the Polish memory politics, delimited in her earlier text, but also focuses primarily on outlining testimonies alternative to the ones of the nascent politics. She outlines a broad social and historical background of the aforementioned events, devoting considerable space to the Kielce pogrom and to reactions of leftist intellectuals to the shocking event. Separate space is dedicated to considerations regarding Catholic voices, usually published in Tygodnik Powszechny weekly, which, while resisting anti-Semitism and active attacks against Jews, reproduced the models of exclusion and, at the same time, strengthened the dominant memory politics.
