TY - JOUR TI - “Zabveniju ne podlezhit”. Blockade of Leningrad in Documents of the Epoch and in Contemporary Public Perception AU - Abassy, Małgorzata TI - “Zabveniju ne podlezhit”. Blockade of Leningrad in Documents of the Epoch and in Contemporary Public Perception AB - The aforementioned title of the documentary volume on the blockade of Leningrad during the World War II emphasises the imperative to remember the events that were recorded in the memory of the entire nation. It also raises questions about the justification for the non-forgetting order. The posed research questions are meant to lead to the identification of key elements of the narrative – the emotions that are triggered by referring to specific historical facts. The drawn conclusions can be a starting point for reflection on the effects of remembering – not remembering traumatic events in the life of a community: ethnic, national, religious etc. They can also provide theoretical premisses for the research on the functioning of memory about a tragedy as an influence tool in the relationship between the authorities and society.
