Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the Jewish Memory in Zakrzówek in the Lublin Voivodeship. Just prior to the Second World War, over 800 Jews lived there. The article is based on interviews with present inhabitants of the village and consists of five parts. The author makes an attempt to reconstruct the memories of interviewees about: landscape of the village before the war, Jews, Polish–Jewish relations, the Holocaust, hiding Jews and Jewish pits. This is a pretext for discussing distinctions between individual, cultural and collective memory, the notion used by Maurice Halbwachs.
