Abstract
This chapter will elaborate on challenges to education about the Holocaust (EaH) in Poland in the context of the proliferation of memory discourses. The revival of certain antisemitic attitudes among the so-called nationalist youth will be addressed, using specific examples from empirical research carried out in Poland between 2019 and 2022. The research was conducted as part of the Sites of Tension project, reflecting the memory of the Shoah. The chapter will focus on the politicization of Holocaust memory in post-2015 Poland as a factor influencing EaH and on good practices attempting to counteract the attitudes of radical, nationalist youth.
