The Main Goals of Law and Justice’s Historical Policy Towards Germany

The article addresses the issue of the historical politics of the Law and Justice Party (PiS) towards Germany. This group pointed out that today in the mutual relations one could notice a growing “memory conflict” caused by a different perception of certain facts and events related to the World War II. Therefore, the leaders of this party emphasized that one of the key aspects of their actions towards Germany would be to pursue an active historical policy, which was aimed to achieve four fundamental goals: 1) counteract attempts to relativize the guilt of the Germans for the greatest crimes of World War II, 2) oppose the demands of the Prussian Trust and plans to build a Centre against Expulsions, 3) disseminate knowledge among the German society about Nazi terror against the Polish nation, 4) take up the topic of reparations for the destruction caused.
