Summary/Abstract: The article concerns “Jewish” topics in the writings of G. Herling-Grudziński. It contains a record of almost all his remarks on the Holocaust, anti-Semitism and Judaism (always introduced in connection with Christianity) in dealing with this subject essays and diary records. It shows refl ections in what form the issues came to the stories and short novels author of A World Apart: A Memoir of the Gulag. The collected material provides no basis for predication that sensitivity to the Jewish question indirectly reveals relationships with this part of the writer’s biography, which is associated with his concealed Jewish origins.
