Sinopsis în limba engleză:

Between the end of World War II and the late 1980s, the Polish film industry produced nearly twenty films about the Holocaust that approached the topic within safe boundaries. These films, which were allowed to be shown, did not threaten the national community’s good feelings, did not address Poland’s version of antisemitism, and most importantly, avoided the sensitive topic of Polish society’s attitude toward Jewish persecution. Each film aligned with the existing historical policy, which either used this issue instrumentally or ignored it altogether. After 1989, both historiography and cinema began to explore topics that were previously forbidden, taboo, or distorted in official state narratives. With the end of political restrictions and the start of open public debate, Polish cinema initiated a delayed process of reckoning and revising Holocaust memories. But has this process truly taken place? Have Polish filmmakers genuinely worked to dismantle myths, fill in gaps, and correct distorted Polish memories of the Holocaust? This brief speech aims to examine how the memory of the Holocaust has been shaped in Polish feature films since 1989.
