In this study, 34 photographs depicting the state of buildings in the city center of Nysa in the first years after Polish state administration took over the town in May 1945 are published and critically analyzed. The photographs record direct and indirect consequences of World War II. Through an analysis of this documentation and confronting it with other sources, the author managed to establish the location where and date when each photograph was taken. On this basis, she formulates a conclusion that in a landscape mutilated by war, actions both resulting in further destruction as well as aimed at preserving or reconstructing destroyed buildings took place.

Analyzing postwar Polish travel guides relating to Lower Silesia, Opole Silesia and Western Pomerania, the authors distinguish two basic strategies of taming the landscape. The first, popularly applied, was proving the Polish character of the so-called Regained Lands, individual regions and places. The other strategy, which was not of a common character, was to a larger extent concentrated on the local dimension. The authors point to both mutual elements of images of the local past and elements specific of particular regions or places lying in the territories incorporated into Poland in 1945.
