Summary/Abstract: Rec. Bartłomiej Krupa, O powiedzieć Zagładę. Polska proza i historiografia wobec Holocaustu (1987-2003), Towarzystwo Autorów i Wydawców Prac Naukowych UNIVERSITAS, Kraków 2013, ss. 568 In his innovative work Bartłomiej Krupa presents a multi-faceted overview of literary and historical works devoted to the Holocaust discourse in the Polish prose in the years indicated in the title. These include, respectively: discourse elevating the Jewish victims, pluralising the attitudes and behaviours of Polish bystanders, discourse of Polish guilt and Polish shame and the opposite discourse of Polish. Textual reading, opening the author to a multilateral, often innovative insight into cited texts, encourages contemporary reader to reflect on the issues of the Holocaust, the idea of a tolerant coexistence of nations, issues of multiculturalism and respect for differences and otherness.
