Summary/Abstract: The author compares the references to the Jewish prayer El Male Rachamim (Hebrew for ‘God Full of Mercy’): El Male Rachmim by Wiktor Gomulicki, Julian Tuwim’s Ghetto from Notatnik poetycki and a post-war drawing by Bronisław Linke El male rachmim. There are intertext, intersemiotic and interpersonal relations happening between them (Tuwim included Gomulicki’s work in Księga wierszy polskich XIX wieku [A Book of Polish Verses of the 19th Century]; Linke illustrated Bal w Operze [Ball at the Opera]; a note in Ghetto announces text My, Żydzi polscy [We, Polish Jews]). What is happening with the motif wandering through cultural and character codes? Does the turning point of the Extinction indeed change it?
