Summary/Abstract: Illustrating the recent exhibition Estranged / Obcy w domu, the author wonders if, and how, contemporary Polish visual art has contributed to integrating the shame of the anti-Semitic campaign into the collective memory of the nation. She focuses in particular on the works of three artists: Krystyna Piotrowska, Erna Rosenstein, and Krzysztof Wodiczko, and on how the exhibition represents some currents in visual studies linked to historical narrative.
