This lecture examines how competing Polish and Jewish narratives sought to establish, distort, or suppress the truth about the Lviv pogrom in the wake of World War I. Focusing on the politics of memory and mechanisms of historical storytelling, it reveals how contested truths shaped public understanding — and national identity — in the Second Polish Republic.
