THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL MEMORY OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE LOWER
SILESIAN OBORNIKI LAND
Summary
The author presents the results of his research concerning
remembrances of the inhabitants who settled down in the town and
commune of Oborniki Śląskie after World War II. Two books are the
basic source of this study: We, the Obornicians. Great Book of Lower
Silesian Oborniki Land (2005), and by B. Muszkalska, Voices from the
past. Musical traditions as remembered by the Obornicians (2006).
The inhabitants have kept in memory the experiences of war, the
emotional relation to their former land and to their new social and
natural environment, as well as certain cultural facts.
In the difficult process of integration the settlers have created a
new society with new culture. None of the settlers' groups has kept
the whole of their original regional culture and neither did the
spouses of the mixed region and ethnic marriages.
