This is an automatically translated description

The author defines public memory as everything that exists from the past in the present; that is, it is, first of all, knowledge that relates to the past of a particular community and affects its current life. At the same time, when certain memory carriers are subject to destruction, memory implants appear. In the interpretation of the Polish scholar, these are buildings, records, paintings, films, etc. created secondary and post factum, which should either fill in the gaps of memory, or recreate it or create it anew, in a different form that corresponds to the current historical policy of the community or rather its authorities.
