Summary/Abstract: An analysis and interpretation of Dora Sztatman’s text, part of a folder of documents in Ringelblum Archive (Ring I, 1092; nowa sygn. ARG I 288). The text is an account of a young Jewish woman’s encounter with two German officers in the Municipal Courts building in Leszno Street and their walk together to the “Aryan side”. It is an attempt of looking at the historical document not only as a testimony of actual events, but particualrly as a trace of “mental facts” – desire, dream, denial.
