The Grand Duchy of Warsaw was a miniature Poland with an area of 64,000 square miles (166,000 sq km) and 4,350,000 inhabitants.
There was a highly divisive public debate about the Communist past in which one side unconditionally condemned Communist Poland as a totalitarian state of terror, governed by a foreign (Soviet) power that destroyed the natural composition of society and the operation of the economy.

Public events, such as a ceremony, constitute a "public symbol system" (Ortner 1973) that is the source from which a community discovers, rediscovers, and transforms their own culture "generation after generation." Through their structure, public events can induce action, knowledge and experience (Handelman 1990:16).

Public death was first recognized as a matter of civilized concern in the nineteenth century, when some health workers decided that untimely death was a question between men and society, not between men and God.
