- Title

- Abstract
The region of Central Europe, as well the cities in this area, underwent radical changes in the 20th century: extermination of the Jews, evacuation/repatriation of the Poles, the Germans and the Ukrainians, homogenization of the communist system (in ideological, and demographic sense). After 1989/1991 it became possible to restore the cities' "lost identity". It is worth to compare two different, but similar cities in our region: Wrocław as consciously upbuilding its identity on multiculturalism, openness to the world and at the same time struggling with the "amputated past". On the other hand Lviv/Lemberg seems to be a city, standing between the national idea, the "alien past" (the Polish and the Jewish heritage) and orientation towards Central Europe.
