Abstrakt
In this study, 47 photographs depicting reconstruction, demolition and new buildings in Nysa in the period from 1945 until the turn of 1950s and 1960s, when a conception of reconstruction of the historical city center in a “modern” way was mplemented, are published and critically analyzed. Through an analysis of this documentation and confronting it with other sources, the author managed to establish the location where and date when each photographs was taken. On this basis, she formulates a conclusion that in a landscape mutilated by war, actions both resulting in further destruction as well as aimed at preserving or reconstructing destroyed buildings took place.
