Powroty do Juliana Hochfelda
Returns to Julian Hochfeld

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to recall and present the political and intellectual figureof J. Hochfeld (1911–1966) against the background of the contemporary – oftenahistorical – attempts to reconstruct historical memory in Poland, totally condemningthe period of the Polish People’s Republic. My objective is to use the example ofJ. Hochfeld to demonstrate the complexity of lives and choices of those who as themembers of the non-communist left were active in the interwar period, during WorldWar II and the Polish People’s Republic.This article also presents Hochfeld’s theoretical organizational contribution tothe development of the Polish post-war sociology, as well as topicality of the issueshe tackled, e.g. political sociology, the contemporaneity of the idea of historicalmaterialism and social-democratic socialism.
