Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the reportage 1945. War and Peace by Magdalena Grzebałkowska in the context of contemporary memory studies. I am particulary interested in the way the modern literary reportage reflects the past and deals with the subjectivism of memory and post-memory. In my research I focus on medialisaton of the collective and the personal memory. My intention is to discuss the immense influence of media on the contemporary discourse on the past. According to Grzebałkowska, the language used in the literary reportage is strongly rooten in the experiences of the witnesses of the war. I would like to present how the cultural memory shapes the identity of individuals and society.
