Summary/Abstract: The campaign “BohaterON” co-organised by the Warsaw Rising Museum hinges on sending postcards to insurgents of the Warsaw Uprising. Herczyńska examines the assumptions of this project, its promotion and realisation, as well as a collection of 187 postcards written as part of the campaign, in the context of the Museum’s work. She draws on the concepts of the nikiform and scriptive thing.
