Kurzfassung:
Discusses what the transition from communism has implied for the Catholic Church in Poland, and analyzes the various orientations within the ecclesial institution and the broader Catholic landscape. Examines the case of the "war of the crosses" in Auschwitz, which highlights divisions within the Church and different ways in which Catholics articulate the relationship between national identity and religion, as well as their relationship to Jews and antisemitism. The last section discusses the role of "Jews" in shaping the discourse of what Polishness is and is not.
