Summary/Abstract: The past does not exist objectively. It exists as an image in our memory. The following article is devoted to the perception of the past related to the Second World War by representatives of two different communities – Polish and German. The example of the memory of the Jewish community that lived before the World War II in contemporary Poland will show a different sensitivity of perceiving facts related to this period, depending on the social framework of the two nations.
