“…In post-socialist Europe, the contemporary national imaginaries of these culturally and historically differentiated countries are undergirded by common memories of 20th century violence and foreign occupation, most prominently Nazi German and Soviet Communist rule. The dominant state discourse found in school curricula depicts a heroic national victimhood vis-a-vis foreign occupiers and internal collaborators that silences issues of local participation in the Holocaust during WWII as well as post-WWII domestic support for the Communist regime (Michlic and Melchior 2013;Stevick 2015). This tendency toward patriotic silencing is currently especially strong in countries such as Poland and Hungary that are governed by conservative nationalist factions (Kirchik 2017).…”

This paper draws upon data from two youth-focused, ethnographically informed inquiries-one in Poland, the other in Guatemala-to describe how historical memory can conflict with both state historical narratives and with globalized approaches to democratic citizenship education. This analysis helps us to better understand the ways that, in post-conflict societies, schools function as spaces in which overlapping claims of community, nation, and world frame the development of youth citizenship and belonging.Este análisis, basado en dos investigaciones etnográficas, una en Polonia y la otra en Guatemala describe cómo la memoria histórica puede entrar en conflicto con las narrativas históricas estatales y con los enfoques globalizados de la educación para la ciudadanía democrática. Este análisis nos ayuda a comprender mejor las formas en que, en las sociedades posconflicto, las escuelas funcionan como espacios en los que los reclamos superpuestos de comunidad, nación y mundo enmarcan el desarrollo de la ciudadanía y pertenencia a los jóvenes. [citizenship, democratic education, Guatemala, historical memory, Poland] "Today's government is trying to change and hide facts from that historical time. They are trying to change history."• Student, Private High 1 , a private city high-school in Poland, focus group "The history, it is painful but important…Historical memory is knowing the historical truth. State sponsored education never gives it."• Co-founder, Nuestro Futuro, a rural public school serving Indigenous 2 students in Guatemala, interview Young people's sense of themselves as citizens draws upon and is deeply connected to the ways that they learn about, remember, and interpret the histories of their families, communities, and countries. Yet the process of "producing" educated persons and citizens within schools (Levinson, Foley, and Holland 1996) is traditionally framed as a straightforward, curricular transmission of an official state version of history and patriotic values or, more recently, the inculcation of an internationally validated set of liberal democratic norms and practices (DeLugan 2012; Levinson 2011). The confrontation of history in person-the personal or "intimate formations result[ing] from the practice of identification in historically specific times and places" (Holland and Lave 2001, 18)-with official historical and civic narratives has deep implications for youth civic identity and belonging,
