Abstract
Michal Bilewicz looks at the title problem from the point of view of psychology - yet it should be appreciated that he does not limit himself to his discipline. The author of this essay, written in the margins of the book, considers within the framework of history the usefulness of the concept of “trauma” for explaining observed phenomena. While recognizing the importance of trauma in the history of societies, he points out that it has practically never acted and does not act as the sole causal factor. The analyzed cases are considered by both authors on the example of different countries. The issue of leading a nation out of historical trauma is also addressed. Changes are needed in the teaching of history in schools, including consideration of trauma-generating issues as broad phenomena, including as problems not limited to individual nations.
