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. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Cultural Heritage and Conflict,$x2634-6427 606 $aCultural property 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aEthnology$zEurope 606 $aCulture 606 $aCultural Heritage 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 606 $aEuropean Culture 615 0$aCultural property. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aCultural Heritage. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aEuropean Culture. 676 $a940.531503924 676 $a940.531809438 702 $aHopfinger$b Maryla 702 $aZ?ukowski$b Tomasz$f1969- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483220003321 996 $aThe Holocaust bystander in Polish culture, 1942-2015$91905796 997 $aUNINA
