It inspects the category of the bystander (in Polish culture closely related to the witness), since the war recognized as the axis of self-presentation and majority politics of memory. The category is of performative character since it defines the roles of event participants, assumes passivity of the non-Jewish environment, and alienates the exterminated, thus making it impossible to speak about the bystanders' violence at the border between the ghetto and the 'Aryan' side. Bystanders were neither passive nor distanced; rather, they participated and played important roles in Nazi plans. Starting with the war, the authors analyze the functions of this category in the Polish discourse of memory through following its changing forms and showing links with social practices organizing the collective memory. Despite being often critiqued, this point of dispute about Polish memory rarely belongs to mainstream culture. It also blocks the memory of Polish violence against Jews. The book is intended for students and researchers interested in memory studies, the history of the Holocaust, the memory of genocide, and the war and postwar cultures of Poland and Eastern Europe. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland. 651 0 Poland |xHistory |yOccupation, 1939-1945. 651 7 Poland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206891 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland. |2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland |xInfluence. |2nli 650 7 Bystander effect |zPoland. |2nli 650 7 Collective memory |zPoland. |2nli 651 7 Poland |xHistory |yOccupation, 1939-1945. |2nli 651 7 Poland |xHistory |y1945- |2nli 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 647 7 Occupation of Poland |c(Poland : |d1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353902 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Hopfinger, Maryla, |eeditor. 700 1 Żukowski, Tomasz, |d1969- |eeditor. 776 08 |iebook version : |z9783030664084 830 0 Palgrave studies in cultural heritage and conflict. 856 41 |3Electronic version(s) available. |zHosted by ProQuest Ebook Central |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=6521531 910 Harrassowitz bibliographic data with order information - 6555 - HMC 852 0 |breceiving |kShelved 49-4-5 852 |bebook
