Abstract:
Analyzes a heated media debate on the issue of the correct place for a monument devoted to the Polish Righteous among the Nations, conducted in April 2014 mainly in the daily "Gazeta Wyborcza". Locates the problem of the monument in a broader perspective of the various kinds of memorialization already extant in the area of Muranów, part of the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. The issues addressed in the debate offer a pretext for a juxtaposition of two models of memory: icono-clash and multidirectional memory. Discusses a new model of memory which emerges from analysis of this debate.
