Tyle jesteśmy warci, ile kochamy naszych zmarłych
“We Are Worth As Much As We Can Love Our Dead”

Summary/Abstract: Review: Stosowność i forma. Jak opowiadać o Zagładzie [‘The decorum and the form. How to tell stories on the Shoah’], ed. by M. Głowiński, K. Chmielewska, K. Makaruk, A. Molisak, T. Żukowski, Kraków 2005. The book being reviewed contains sketches written as part of a seminar run by Prof. Michał Głowiński and propose a whole spectrum of issues related to the Holocaust literature topic and to the problem of how to express what is non-expressible, and, how to preserve a memory on the Shoah – that peculiar event in the history of humankind. The authors analyse various artistic and research strategies of this great topic, sometimes reaching beyond literature (hence, we find in the book texts devoted to film, comic or visual-arts works), skilfully reconciling a well-comprehended empathy with a well-comprehended distance.
