This article is an attempt of conducting analysis of main aspects of memory of World War II both in Poland and in Germany between the year 1989/90 and 2014. It also includes an analysis of the process of its development and changes which have taken place in the above mentioned period of time. The article discusses crucial historical debates, muse-ums and exhibitions which deal with World War II. Particular attention was paid to two emerg-ing museums dealing with this subject: the Museum of World War II in Gdansk as well as "A vivid sign against escapes and expulsions" in Berlin.

This article addresses the issue of how to show massive population resettlements during World War II in a museum space, on the example of the main exhibition in the World War II Museum in Gdańsk. It attempts to answer the following questions: whether the Museum is a good place for a story about the mass evictions, resettlements and deportations carried out during World War II by two the totalitarian regimes: Nazi and Communist? The authors consider how to present historical narratives concerning eviction, resettlement and deportation by the Third Reich and the Soviet Union in a museum space and to reconcile scientific integrity with the requirements of a modern formula of the Museum. Can one find in a modern museum a place to explain the reasons of the suffering of millions of people through a deepened historical narrative, or whether it should focus only on preserving the memory of the mass displacements and resettlements of the population, dominated by a martyrological narrative? The article deals with such issues as contemporary forms and tasks of museums, the main assumptions of a museum narrative and scenographic exhibition solutions of the World War II Museum in the area of forced migration.
