Th e local community of Bielawa and the areas in the region of the Owl Mountains is an interesting object for studies of sites of memory represented in local consciousness. Like most of similar communities on the so-called Recovered Territories, it started to form aft er 1945 on “raw roots” aft er the German inhabitants of the area were removed. Th ey were replaced with people moved from the former eastern provinces of the Second Republic, among others from Kołomyja, but also from regions of central Poland. Also Poles returning from Germany, France and Romania sett led there. Th e area taken over by new sett lers had not been a cultural desert. The remains of material culture, mainly German, and the traditions of weaving and textile industry, reaching back to the Middle Ages, formed a huge potential for creating a vision of local cultural heritage for the newly forming community. Th ey also brought, however, their own notions of cultural heritage to the new area and, in addition, became subject to political pressure of recognising its “Piast” character as the “Recovered Territories”. Th e present research is an att empt to fi nd out to what extent that potential was utilised by new sett lers, who were carriers of various regional (or even national) cultures, for their creation of visions of the future, as well as how the dynamics of those transformations evolved.

Medical historiography is not ‘cognitively innocent’, similarly to other movements of its kind. Like all the others, it can also be considered more as a self-reflection of the environments examining the past, rather than showing ‘objective truth about the past’, which is an image constructed by a historian. This vision is sometimes imbued with values present in the environments which the historiographer represents, referring them to the past. It is also subordinated to these objectives, whom, sometimes temporarily, it is to serve. Both are historically and culturally variable. On the one hand there are, for example, the ideals of medicine, standards of rationality and the different perspectives of perceiving a patient. On the other hand, the most common educational goals, subordinate to the medical historiography. The multiplicity of such cultural factors, as a consequence, presents a curious ‘distorting mirror of medicine’.
