Examines the multiplicity of depictions of Jews and the Holocaust in Poland. Argues that the problem is that different agendas have underpinned the memory of Polish Jewry. There are some who simply seek to profit from the violent past, some who mourn the loss of the Jews in Poland and most ominously those who would prefer to forget the past. The divided memory serves to stir up old hatreds and prejudices, raising troubling questions about the place of the past in present-day Poland.
