Podróże do Niemiec i do Polski. Emocje Żydów odwiedzających poholocaustową Europę
Traveling to Germany and Poland. Toward a textual montage of Jewish emotions after the Holocaust

Summary/Abstract: This essay explores from a new perspective the intricate ways in which Jews have encountered and engaged with Germany and Poland after the Holocaust. It looks at the emotions expressed by Jews who travelled to both countries from roughly the late 1940s to the present moment in an attempt to build a textual montage of the juxtaposing feelings that Jews have had towards the region. In so doing, it attempts to show that Germany and Poland have represented for Jews not only a “ruined landscape” of death, but an emotionally complex space in which a wide range of emotional reactions have intersected.
