Miejsce postpamięci w edukacji międzykulturowej

Abstract

The article is an attempt to describe the book The Lesson of (Un)presence. Polish-Jewish heritage in Polish language education by Agnieszka Kania. The book deals with the place of the subject matter related to the Holocaust in Polish language classes and the ways of educating about the past. The researcher suggests that the school discourse that concerns post-memory should not only take into account the sensitivity of the modern student, but first and foremost, utilise the post‑memory narratives to describe the phenomena that currently have to be addressed. Owing to such an approach, the school gets the opportunity for creating conditions for authentic dialogue with the past and, on the basis of this — for the reflection upon the contemporary world. If the education about the Holocaust serves such a purpose, it becomes one of the pillars of intercultural education.
