Powtórzone „miasta śmierci”
Recurring “Towns of Death”

Summary/Abstract: This text evokes the school bench from „The Dead Class” by referring it directly to the Holocaust of the Jewish pupils of the secondary school in Tarnów, attended by Tadeusz Kantor. It also discloses similarity to a vision in a story by Jan Bielatowicz, another graduate of this school. The author interprets Kantor’s object via an impasse in the representation of the “absence of the absent”, with the saved depicted as the accused. Following this approach, the author initially outlines within Kantor’soeuvrea map of the “towns of death” connected with the Holocaust.
