The paper presents an analysis of two autobiographical novels by contemporary Swiss female writers. The novels address similar issues and are also connected by similar mode of narration. The authors namely describe the loss of their fatherland – Erica Pedretti as a result of the forced expulsion action aimed at the Sudeten Germans after the World War II, Zsuzsanna Gahse as a result of escape from Hungary after the uprising of the 1956 – and the ensuing consequences. The central topic of both novels are memories: their emergence, functioning and meaning as well as the processes of their verbalization in order to accept one’s own painful experiences. The characteristic feature of narration in both novels is a strongly emphasized ‘feminine look’ at the history of the 20th century combined with a typical ‘feminine style’, whose chief qualities are, according to Hélène Cixous, among others abandonment of coherence, fragmentariness and unpredictability, multiplicity of synchronised images as well as acceptance of otherness. These ‘feminine style’ and ‘feminine look’ at the history of the 20th century serve above all to deconstruct the widely accepted perceptions and standards, which eventually lead to sanguinary wars, incessant political and ethnic conflicts as well as expulsions and escapes.

Since its beginnings, oral history has raised many controversies. Its opponents voiced the opinion that spoken sources are subjective, unreliable and unrepresentative. Supporters believed, however, that the spoken word is a credible source of information on historical facts. Views were altered in the mid 1980s: enthusiasts were of opinion that the technique is not to be used to document facts and events instead of the way in which these events are remembered by respondents. It seems that the technique could prove especially useful in the studies of collective biographies, in the broad meaning of the term. This theory could be verified by comparing data gathered with this method with factual materials. Can oral descriptions reliably supplement traditional sources of information, or become the basic source of information when others are unavailable? Research on the topic was based on empirical materials – the family heirlooms of Melania Herman from the Zniszczyński family: mother of Czesław Herman, a renowned lawyer from Olsztyn, musician and traveler. These ones were chosen because of their completeness, chronological continuity, and as they are representative of a particular social group. Melania’s daughter-in-law, Halina Herman contributed a photograph of Melania as well as other documents concerning the Herman, Snarski and Zniszczyński families, to the Museum of Warmia and Masuria. The Hermans repatriated to Olsztyn in 1945, sharing the fate of many relocated Poles. Their history mirrors the histories of the whole generation of Polish intelligentsia from Polish eastern frontier. It allows us to learn about the events which took place in the eastern regions of Poland and shows what influenced the lives of the current inhabitants of Warmia and Masuria region.

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit zwei Bereichen: der deutschen und polnischen Auseinandersetzung mit der gemeinsamen Vergangenheit ebenso wie mit der deutsch-polnischen Konfliktgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er argumentiert für eine wechselseitige Abgleichung, Ergänzung und Vervollständigung der Geschichtsbilder, ohne zu versuchen, Vereinheitlichungen oder gar Standardisierungen vorzunehmen; dabei werden wissenschaftliche Fragen ebenso wie praktische Probleme der Gestaltung von kollektiver Erinnerung angesprochen.

This paper deals with both past and current German and Polish historical debate on the common past and experiences, and especially the history of conflict in the twentieth century. It argues for a reconciliation and the mutual completion of historical analysis and views of history. It argues likewise for contrasting approaches to become attuned to and supplement one another without seeking to standardize the consideration of historical issues. Perspectives of scholarly as well as of practical questions of memory are reflected.

The aim of this article is to analyse the political and mnemonic programme to be found in the last books of the British historian and thinker Tony Judt. The author of this article assumes that the final period of Judt’s writing, in which he produced Ill Fares the Land, TheMemory Chalet, and the posthumously published discussion with Timothy Snyder entitled Thinking the Twentieth Century, is dependent on a kind of ‘art of memory’. For Judt, being terminally ill with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and thus condemned to immobility, this method became not so much-as in the case of its classic varieties-a technology of remembering, as a manner of recognizing and analyzing the contemporary world by turning to his own biography. The purpose was to construct a ’political testament’ for the Western world in a time of crisis whose roots, according to Judt, can be found in the supremacy that ‘economic’ thinking has achieved over traditional political thought. In a gesture reminiscent of the Stoic ‘techniques of the self’ described by Michel Foucault, Judt, by exploiting his own no less complicated biography and identity, tries to throw light on the complicated history of the 20th century, containing the sources of ‘our contemporary ills’. Biography and history thus meet here in a ’work of memory’ whose horizon and catalyzer is the perspective of death, and whose stake is the idea of a political community experiencing, according to Judt, a period of inertia.

The following study aims to define, describe and to demonstrate in selected real examples the tendency, which it has detected in the relation of advanced, democratic societies, towards the documents and resources of primarily oficial provenance, namely by the supreme representatives of public power. The tendency, according to the proposed thesis of this study, relies on the gradual implementation and enforcement of society’s claim to the ownership and access to writings, records, documents and historical resources of oficial provenance, in particular those by the supreme represenatives of the state. this contribution will also document the existence of this trend by outlining some legislative changes which have occurred since the middle of the 20th century up to the present day. Using this trend, this study aims to demonstrate, among others, the above and in what means some basic democratic mechanisms can implement themselves and further develop in relation to documents, textual and nontextual resources, namely on the part of historians, archivists and other persons participating in the administration of the documents of oficial provenance and future potential resources and of the whole of society. This contribution intends to outline the important and ever progressive transformation of public archives in recent decades as one of the crucial consequences thereof.
