description The paper discusses core issues of the Polish Historiography, focusing on main challenges. The author observes a process of its transformation, resulting among other from significant changes in a Polish social reality at the beginning of the 20th century. Main conclusion of this brief analysis is that Polish historiography differs from Western historiographical discussion, being less interdisciplinary and focusing on political history. The author diagnoses also a decreasing role of professional historians in explaining the past. On the other hand, Polish historiographical reflection differs also from former Soviet Bloc countries, with their ethnocentric historiographies avoiding discussion on crucial, yet often uneasy or even painful, issues.     This  text  was  first  published  in  German  under  the  title  Was  gibt  es  Neues  in  der  polnischen  Historiographie  zu  Beginn  des  21  Jahrhunderts?  in  “Historie  Jahrbuch  des  Zentrum für Historische ForschungBerlin der Polnischen Akademie der Wissenschaften” 2007/2008,  vol .  1,  pp .  37–56 .  Updated  version  was  published  in  Polish  in  a  journal  “Przegląd Humanistyczny” 2010, vol . 5/6, pp . 49–65 with a title “Historiografia polska początków  XXI  wieku .  Próba  bilansu” .  Polish  version  is  translated  for  the  current  supplement of “Klio . Journal of Polish and World History” and that is why it only refers to the events prior 2009 .
