This book explores contemporary debates surrounding Poland's 'war
children', that is the young victims, participants and survivors of
the Second World War. It focuses on the period after 2001, which
saw the emergence of the two main political parties that were to
dictate the tone of the politics of memory for more than a decade.
The book shows that 2001 marked a caesura in Poland's
post-Communist history, as this was when the past took center stage
in Polish political life. It argues that during this period a
distinct culture of commemoration emerged in Poland - one that was
not only governed by what the electorate wanted to hear and see,
but also fueled by emotions.
