Summary/Abstract: The text looks at the ways the date of 89 May 1945 is perceived in the memory of Poles and Germans – in the official memory (anniversary celebrations), public memory (press and media) as well as common memory (historical awareness, family memory). The author traces the dimensions between different levels of memory and evolutions of the image of the end of the war in Poland – before and after the breakthrough of 1989, and in Germany – before and after reunification.
