The restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic after the First War World is the subject of historical research and political discussion. However, this article focuses on the question of the place of this event in the informal collective Polish memory. An important data source are the results of the “Niepodległa ’18” research conducted by the National Centre for Culture, Poland (NCK) and TNS Polska in 2016. This paper focuses on four areas: (1) transmission of knowledge on the sovereignty restoration, (2) images of notable people (3) significant events of the time and (4) perceptions of Polish society attitudes at the beginning of the twentieth century.
