Conflicting Memories in the Shtetlekh Gąbin, Suchowola, Brańsk and Luboml

Abstract

This chapter explores narratives of return in a series of documentaries filmed on the sites of memory of Jewish life in Poland. It focuses on the role played by the Poles in the persecution of the Jews and on the memory of the events. It also addresses the ways in which a traumatic past is still inscribed in present-day landscapes.
