Abstracts

EN

Based on twenty interviews with the representatives of a specific memory group, Bohemia’s and Moravia’s nobility, their memories of the period of World War II and the Nazi era are described. The author shows that a remembrance is not only a mere expression of personal experiences, as often believed in oral history, but that it constitutes a complicated fabric in which individual memory, often unconsciously, is subject to the current predominant cultural scripts. Hence, the memories of nobles exhibit some identical narrative patterns, typical of the nobility of Bohemia and Moravia as a social group, mostly irrespective of their nationality.
