The main objective of this article is drawing a general outline of Polish‑Jewish relations in years between 1918—2018 while analysing contemporary image of these relations that has been shaped through bipolar political narration in two ways: heroically nostalgic and critical. I will try to prove that story of common past, having great impact on the image of our nation, has now become yet another front line of ideological division of Polish society. As relentless dispute about antisemitism in times of independent Poland continues, it intensifies with current events that evoke it, such as amendment of act about Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) and commemorations of important events: liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, riots in ghetto in Warsaw, Polish March of 1968. I will also present points of disagreement in historiography of Polish and Jewish experiences as well as analysis of media reaction about infamous events of March ‘68 that arose during spring of 2018 by occasion of their 50th anniversary, using examples from weekly magazines of opinion “Polityka” and “Sieci”.
