Abstract:
Exhibition “#Heritage” set up in National museum in Krakow represents the model with which the new Polish goverment is trying to deal with contemporary socialissues, history and collective memory and particulary when it comes to interpretation of the Polish role in the Holocuast. Following the example of Museum ofHistory of Polish Jews, POLIN in Warsaw one can observe the oposite side, criticalyet expanded notion of relationship between Poles and Jews in Poland during morethen thousand years of joint history. Holocaust is not defi ning moment in thatrelationship, even though it is the most important and tragic. Polish goverment, inthe attempts to make clear that death camps in Poland were not Polish, but German, adopted the controversal amandment 55a which might seriously limit thefreedom of speech and further research about Holocaust. Representing its powersin changing the operations and even appearance of World War Two museum inGdansk in the direction of being more Polish and patriotic and less universal, Polish goverment actually represented its intention of revriting history interpretationsand changing narratives of past introducing “#” model of oppeness with no realreadiness for social dialogue and constructive criticisms.
