Informer’s Eyes

Summary/Abstract: The article regards broadly defined literature about the Holocaust as a testimony to the attitude of the Polish society toward the Jews, for even when it uses fiction it remains close to personal document literature. The knowledge these sources provide, both those produced during the occupation and afterwards, is usually dismissed by professional historians even though it says a lot about this topic. Speaking in the most general terms, it is anticipates the historians’ theses and reports. One of the phenomena it reflects is the anti-Semitism, which did not vanish with the advent of the Holocaust and could be seen in the dealings of blackmailers, informers, and szmalcowniks.
