The tropospheric NO2 column from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI (2018–2020) and Aura/OMI (2010–2020) over Poland, notably for 7 major Polish cities, was used to assess the annual variability and the COVID-19 lockdown effect. On a national scale, during lockdown (March–June 2020), strong sources of pollution were found in Katowice and Warszawa, as well as at the power plant in Bełchatów. A gradual drop in OMI NO2 values between March and June was found for all cities and the entire domain of Poland, this being a part of the annual NO2 cycle derived for every year from 2010 to 2020. In fact, the gradual drop of NO2 in the lockdown year was within the typical monthly and annual variability. In March 2020, Kraków showed the highest NO2 reduction rate. A reduction of NO2 was observed in Gdańsk, Wrocław, and Warszawa during every month of the lock-down period. Several factors, including wind speed and direction, temperature, and increased emission sources, can limit the dispersion and removal of NO2. Although meteorological conditions have a significant impact on the annual cycle of NO2 in Poland, it is important to note that anthropogenic emissions remain the primary driver of NO2 concentrations. Therefore, the study concludes that the effect of COVID-19 restrictions on NO2 pollution was negligible and clarifies the current understanding of the COVID-19 effect over Poland, with an emphasis on hotspots in the major Polish cities and their vicinity. This is consistent with our understanding that the reduction of NO2 pollution is seen in cities due to reduced traffic (domestic, municipal, and airborne).

The included database is part of a larger research program entitled "Retrieving the Lost History: Role of Social Memory of Place in Identity Formation," led by Lewicka (grant from the National Science Centre OPUS NCN Nr 2011/03/B/HS6/03320). The study was conducted in 2015 in six Polish cities (Bialystok – n = 410, Krakow – n = 414, Lodz – n = 400, Olsztyn - n = 402, Poznan - n = 401, Wroclaw - n = 401) using the CAPI method. The participants in the study were randomly selected. The total overall sample size was N = 2428. The database consists of multiple variables that can be grouped as follows: - Sociodemographic variables (e.g., age, gender, education, voivodeship, standard of living, place of interview, length of residency in the city)- Place Attachment Scale. A five-item place attachment scale (e.g., “I miss this place when I am not there for a long time”; “This place is part of me”; Lewicka, 2010). Participants expressed their agreement with Likert’s scale items from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). The scale had satisfactory reliability (α = .76) (variables: PAS1 to PAS5) - Lay Theories of History. A 9-item scale designed to identify three different lay theories of history (Wójcik & Lewicka, 2022): historical realism (three items; e.g., “In history, the most important thing is to know the truth about the past”; “We should even remember those historical events that today may give rise to conflicts and disputes”, α = .71), historical instrumentalism (three items; e.g., “Sometimes, it is better to remain silent about certain historical events in order not to weaken the image of our nation”; “Knowledge of the past should be communicated in such a way that it serves the interests of our nation today”; α = .65 ), and historical relativism (three items; e.g., “The past can never be fully understood”; “We will never know the real course of many historical events”; α = .50). Participants expressed their agreement on a 7-point Likert’s scale. (variables: LTH1 to LTH9) - Perceived National Group and City Continuity. Sani’s shortened 8-item Perceived Collective Continuity Scale adapted to the Polish context. The scale was applied twice, to the perceived continuity of the country (Poland) and in a shorter, 6-item, version – to the perceived continuity of one’s city. The reliability of the two scales was α = .72 and α = .76. Participants expressed their agreement with the scale items from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). (variables: PCC1 to PCC8 for national group continuity and PC1 to PC9 for place/city continuity) -Interest in Local History. A 10-item Interest in Local History Scale (Lewicka, 2012) that consisted of two subscales: interest in history (e.g., “I am interested in the history of my city”; “I like to read about the past of my city”) and focus on the present (e.g., “Sometimes it is better to pull down an old building than to invest enormous money in its renovation”; “If I were the city president, I would destroy some old buildings and make space for modern and future-oriented architecture”). Participants expressed their agreement with the scale items from 1 (completely disagree) to 7 (completely agree). The respective reliabilities were α = .79 and .69 (variables: ILH1 to ILH10) -National Identity: Attachment Versus Glorification. A shortened 9-item National Identity Scale (Roccas et al., 2006), with two subscales: attachment to country and glorification of country. Reliabilities of the two subscales were α = .86 and α = .78. Participants expressed their agreement with the scale items from 1 (completely disagree) to 7 (completely agree) (variables: N1 to N9) -Need for Cognition. An abbreviated version of the 7-item Need for Cognition Scale (Caccioppo & Petty, 1982) that was translated into Polish and adapted to the Polish context (Matusz et al., 2011). Participants expressed their agreement with items on a 5-point scale (e.g., “I like to solve puzzles”; “I can spend many hours reflecting on an intellectual problem”). The reliability of this scale was satisfactory (α = .70) (variables: NFC1 to NFC7) -Nostalgia: Restorative Versus Reflective. Nostalgia was measured with the abbreviated 13-item version (Prusik & Lewicka, 2010) of 31-item nostalgia scale by Havlena & Holak (2000). Restorative nostalgia was covered by five items (e.g., “I miss the good

The data is in the form of tables with lists of cemeteries established in the major Polish cities, with information about the date of the cemetery establishment, the date of closing and cemetery decommission, and the current state of the cemetery.
