Summary/Abstract: Article is an attempt to analyze the image of Lviv’s space in the years of 1919–1939 using the oral history method. Research and analyzes were based on narratives represented by three nationalities: Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish, who lived in Lviv between 1919 and 1939. Each nationality remembered space and life differently. Poles emphasized their longing for a lost paradise, while Ukrainians and Jews recalled Polish cultural domination and discrimination in Lviv.
