Poniemieckość: „opowieść spod lipy” i zawłaszczona kategoria. Z inspiracji mitoburczymi esejami Ludwika Stommy
Post-Germanness: “Under the Linden Tree” and the Appropriated Category. Inspired by the Anti-myth Essays by Ludwik Stomma

Summary/Abstract: The article loosens up with two basic myths about post-Germanness. The author analyzes the theme of post-Germanness mainly in fiction and non-fiction – a part of the Polish public discourse on post-Germanness. The first myth is based on the "paradigm of the innocence of Poles" which disavows the question of the participation of Poles in suffering experienced by the German population in the post-war period. The second myth concerns the appropriated geography of post-Germannes. The author presents his arguments on the assumption that suffering is not only an experience that is human and universal, but also transcends cultural and social boundaries.
