Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article was to try to answer the question (under the influence of current events): „can the concept of a nation be interpreted in such a way that it can be deprived of its most important features and understood not in accordance to its essence”? The entry point was a provision placed in the amendment to the Polish Act on the Institute of National Remembrance of January 26, 2018, which provides for penalties for attributing responsibility or co-responsibility to the Polish Nation or Polish State for the crimes of the Third Reich. Can these concepts be recognized differently and lead to results that are not consistent with the intention of the legislator? The author presents their definitions formulated in the literature and key legal texts, expressing his opinion on the subject discussed.
