Historical Memory as a Source of Conflicts in Eastern Europe
Jerzy Jedlicki
; Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences
Sažetak
Memory of collective wrongs and atrocities suffered in the past from another nation or ethnic group often burdens a present conflict with strong resentment and makes it appear as a historical repetition or redress. There are many examples in recent history of Eastern Europe, the Balkans included, when vivid and deliberately inflamed historical reminiscences make it virtually impossible to negotiate a compromise solution of a crisis. Only when national memory has been “cooled” and sacrosanct historical places and symbols have lost some of their mobilizing force, may human relations between the enemy communities be restored.
