description In her article the author offers a reframing of the discussion of how communities productively deal with their troubled pasts. The case in question is that of the post-war Polish national community, and its refusal to face so-called dark sides or shameful episodes of the historical past.

Winnicott’s concept of transitional objects (as transitional images) thus pointing towards new possibilities in finding ways out of both discursive, political and pedagogical impasses in collective memory in Poland.
