The article deals with the problem of family histories, which are understand and consider here in double sense. Firstly, as a sort of private story, whose subject is history of the family and people writing it are not often professional historians. In this meaning, family history is a record of memory defined as communicative memory. Second meaning of family histories, refers to understand them as specific kind of historical writing, on the verge of oral history and private history. In this meaning family history by such authors as Maria Czapska or Edward Raczyński from record of communicative memory transforms in private history, about what decides the presence of various historical sources, which authors convert in their historical narration, placing them in wider cultural context of several periods. Chosen examples illustrate and explain both meaning senses of family histories, and moreover, additionally introduce the weft of postmemory in modified and widen meaning beyond sense used by Marianne Hirsch.

The article looks at the critical approaches to the thematizations of the period of the People's Republic of Poland (1945-1989) in the novels of the 1990s and examines the ways in which the critics tried to conceptualize the representations of the communist period. The critical appraisals, which combine personal, artistic and political judgments, differ so much that there is no room for compromise. Consequently, the best way of mapping the critical literature dedicated to the reception of the Poland's postwar decades is by using a set of polar opposites: the political right, demanding an outright condemnation of communism versus the political left which chooses to focus on the non-political aspects of the period; a moralistic approach versus a more balanced and nuanced criticism; an ideology-driven view of the past versus a preoccupation with private history; the communal experience versus individual experience; strategies of remembrance in opposition to the process of gradual fade away and forgetting of the communist past.
