Summary/Abstract: Citing and recalling common history is an important element for strengthening Polish-American political relations. Political memory, especially associated with the personages of Tadeusz Kościuszko and Kazimierz Pułaski, can be a useful instrument for deepening contacts with representatives of state governments and increasing Poland’s influence throughout U.S. decision-making circles. Building sentiment around the idea of a Polish-American community of history and common values is especially important at a time when threats from authoritarian Russia and China are increasing.
