This study documents how the dominance of the historical memory of one national group is reflected in the public domain, while at the same time the memory of another national group is marginalised. This phenomenon is demonstrated using the example of secular monuments created by Slovaks in Hungary in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. It documents not merely the symbolic meaning of the monument in Hungarian, namely Hungarian-Slovak relationships, but also the form of memorials reflected in the Slovak national discourse before the outbreak of the Great War.
