Trajektoria rodzinna jako szczególny sposób oświadczania cierpienia
The Family Trajectory as a Unique Way of Experiencing Suffering

The Findings of an Analysis of Personal Documents from the Warsaw Ghetto

Summary/Abstract: This text contains an analysis of the experience of chaos, disorder, and family suffering among the inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto during the Second World War, based on materials of a biographical nature, that is, personal documents. The author refers to the concept of a trajectory, which makes it possible to grasp the breakdown of adaptation strategies in the face of an extreme situation. She analyzes the processes of family disintegration and degradation in the Ghetto and proposes a new analytical category—the “family trajectory.”
