This thesis has set out to find out more information on young Polish people’s perceptions of communist and nazi symbols in present day Poland. Seven decades have already passed since the nazi occupation of Poland, and twenty-six years have now passed since the fall of communism in Poland and throughout Central and Eastern Europe. This means a whole younger generation of Polish people, including those in their 20s, are too young to remember communism firsthand, and for them it is already something in the distant past. They may or may not have heard personal family stories from the nazi occupation, perhaps from their grandparents, and likely heard stories from the communist times straight from their parents, but there is already a generation gap in between those who actually lived through communism and those who have only heard about it. Since so much time has passed, the symbolism surrounding such ideologies past has in some instances remained static, but in others taken on more abstract meanings for the younger generation in Poland.
