Summary/Abstract: Audio literature, both fictional (radio dramas) and documentary (documentary broadcasts, features) deals with the theme of the Shoah. The discourse of postmemory treats the victims and the survivors; it also gives voice to the second generation of survivors and Shoah researchers. The aim of this paper is to analyze selected works of audio art about the Holocaust in relation to their genre specificity and to identify thematic fields, which are located on the periphery of radio narratives. The aim is to answer the question about the reasons for the decentralization of the indicated themes. The research method is the analysis of the content of specific titles of radio plays and features – it’s dramaturgy and construction.
