Abstract

The article presents a description of Elk after World War 2, seen from a perspective of
individuals. The pictures of the town are based on the memories of 15 people, who live in Elk
nowadays. The selection of respondents was targeted. The group is differentiated in the categories:
age and place of origin. Among the interviewees there are people, who were living in Elk and the
nearby areas before World War 2, also those who moved there after the war from Vilnius Region,
Republic of Lithuania, nearby areas of Grodno (Hrodna) and Nowogrod, Suwalki Region, Region
of Kurpie, surrounding areas of Grajewo and Szczuczyn, and finally those who were born after
World War 2 in Elk and in other places. The respondents see Elk differently, because they have
been living there during various historical periods, however their individual perceptions and
memories were taken into consideration. The following questions have been asked: what types
of accommodation were Elk citizens living after World War 2, how they perceived their city in
different historical periods, what were they doing for living, how looked their cultural life, what
were their social relations? Data analysis, based on the interviews, answers above questions and
presents subjective picture of everyday live. The article presents many aspects of life common for
people from various social backgrounds
