Tischnerowskie „formy pamięci”
Tischner’s “forms of memory”

Summary/Abstract: The diary [Józef Tischner] Dziennik 1944–1949. Niewielkie pomieszanie klepek (Kraków: Wydawnictwo Znak 2014) was edited by Marian Tischner and Wojciech Bonowicz and it had been found after father Józef Tischner’s death. He wrote in it about his “biography and the past”. The publication is divided into two parts; the second one starts with his high school education i.e. in 1947. Some of his entries – “confessions about oneself and others” – were coded by the author (excerpts in French and Russian). They present the personality of the author at the age of 13-18 in the difficult time of his youth and adolescence. The diaries are the record of individual memory, they reconstruct the past and are a historical document of the war and post-war time; they also present a subjective and intimate image of the events. The author presents various forms of memory, which were applied by the author of the Diary.
