Abstract
The article discusses Holocaust memory in Ukrainian Galicia (using the example of Żółkiew near Lvov). Qualitative research – biographical and in-depth interviews – allowed for an analysis of that memory on various levels and in relation to such factors as: official Soviet memory, family accounts, sovereign Ukraine’ historical policy and the Jewish Diaspora’s initiatives to commemorate the Holocaust. The analysis revealed the existence of highly varied memory groups, whose major determinants are: family’s origins and its lot during the war as well as the respondent’s age group.
