Abstract

Post-Communist Poland faces the Potsdam heritage: Actors, issues and frameworks in reworking the nation's memory Reworking the national memory around the changes (officialized by the Potsdam Conference, July- August 1945) in the Polish state s territory and population provides an example of how this memory and its vocation changes. Between defending the national territory and condemning the forced displacement of populations, this looking back on the past involves apparently contradictory political and social issues. Those who advocate history and those who convey the "common" memory are critically reexamining the nation s history. Their involvement shows how Polish nationalism is being modified under the sway of democracy.
