Erich Hackl wobec kultury pamięci
Remembrance culture in Erich Hackl story Familie Salzmann. Erzählung aus unserer Mitte

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents Erich Hackl's story "Familie Salzmann. Erzählung aus unserer Mitte" in the context of the new culture of remembrance (Aleida Assmann). The author represents the literature of facts and it is his consequent work devoted to the subject matter of the Nazi crime. The mechanisms of fascism have been presented here on an example of three generations of a German-Austrian family to prove that a history that has not been worked through can reoccur. This work confirms an ethnic turn in the remembrance culture as it changes the whole victim-torturer perspective. Hackl's literary style is characterized by historical criticism and a sovereign writing method. His style is laconic, void of any pathos, but still very intriguing.
