Abstract

My interest here is to assess the critical reactions raised by the two recent Polish movies: Aftermath and Ida. I claim that controversies that have been brought about by them are the result of a positivistic view on history and on profession of a historian. I try to show that putting those movies in a different perspective – that is the studies on memory and Frank Ankersmit’s philosophy of history – should allow us to reveal their affirmative potential in building a community meant as a space of modern democracy.
