Sensitive topics in qualitative fieldwork typically include health problems, sexual practices, addictions, illegal activity and death (Campbell 2002; Lee 1993; Liamputtong 2006). Yet, the situation of memories of intergroup violence committed by ingroup members on outgroups ‒ where a community is confronted with the fact that their fellow members have harmed members of other groups ‒ should also be considered as a sensitive topic. An especially sensitive situation occurs when research is conducted in a small community with relatively strong social control maintained through networks of relationships between its members. The aim of this paper is to explore the sensitivity of respondents in their remembering and forgetting of the harm done by members of their own group to the “Others” in local communities, to diagnose the difficulties in conducting fieldwork on this topic, and to present various methods of overcoming them. This article is based on experience from a project dedicated to the social memory of violence committed by Poles against members of other ethnic groups within local communities during World War II.

Nieszawa, which is situated in northern Poland, is unique in the history of Polish-German relations. In 1945 local Polish militiamen murdered a group of German civilians there. In 2000, after decades of public silence about this crime, the leaders of the local community decided to commemorate the victims. In this article, the mutual influence of three kinds of (non-)memory of the crime-national official, local official, and vernacular- are analyzed. In conclusion, some of the factors are identified that make members of a group that mistreated “Others” accept the truth about the event and acknowledge the need to discuss it publicly.

Artykuł omawia społecznie kształtowane procesy pamiętania i zapominania o negatywnej grupowej przeszłości (Bilewicz 2008), zachodzące we wsi Gniewczyna. W 1942 r. członkowie lokalnej straży pożarnej wzięli udział w masowym zabójstwie dokonanym na zamieszkałej we wsi ludności żydowskiej. Szczegółowej analizie w świetle danych z wywiadów indywidualnych z mieszkańcami, lokalnymi elitami oraz ekspertami poddaję interakcje pomiędzy kształtowanymi na różnych poziomach życia lokalnej wspólnoty (nie)pamięciami: indywi- dualną, publiczną, rodzinną i tą konstruowaną w kręgach sąsiedzkich. Wykorzystując teorie traumy kulturowej J. Alexandra i społecznych ram pamiętania M. Halbwachsa jako analityczną ramę swoich rozważań, w kon- kluzjach prezentuję również przyczyny niepowodzenia „przedstawienia traumy sprawców”, dokonanego przez świadka tragicznych wydarzeń – Tadeusza Markiela.
