Summary/Abstract: Review of Dorota Krawczyńska’s book Własna historia Holokaustu. O pisarstwie Henryka Grynberga [‘His own history of the Holocaust. On writings by Henryk Grynberg’], IBL PAN [Institute for Literary Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences publishers], Warsaw, 2005. The reviewer emphasises that because of its dependence upon the tragic biography of this writer, who has been saved from the Shoah, H. Grynberg’s output causes interpretative and research difficulties which have been successfully handled by the book’s author. The monograph attempts at an extensive analysis of this output, viewing it against a broad spectre of literary-historic and philosophical problems.
