Katarzyna Surmiak-Domańska examines how earlier generations' wartime experiences persist in homes and relationships.

The focus shifts from public commemoration to the intimate habits through which the past survives. Silence can matter as much as a story repeatedly told. This is a reading choice for anyone interested in family memory and the distance between knowing historical facts and understanding how they shape daily life.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For readers interested in reported lives, ideas and the forces shaping contemporary experience.
