The policy of remembrance in the context of the Holocaust in Poland and the USA in the twenty-first century

The subject of the proposed research is the policy of remembrance in the context of the Holocaust in the twenty-first century in Poland and the United States. This paper is based on the interpretationist theory, focusing on meanings. According to this theory, we cannot understand the human relations that produce different institutions if we do not understand the meanings associated with them. Foucault, its representative, made the subject of his research the discovery of mechanisms of power relations over the prevailing discourse, produced by institutions. The aim of applying post-Foucauldian analyses is to discover the mechanisms of power relations over the discourse on the Holocaust in Poland and in the USA.
