Summary/Abstract: The article provides an endeavour to look at animal narration in the context of Shoah literature. Focusing primarily on Asher Kravitz’s novel The Jewish Dog, the author examines whether letting a non‑human creature speak is only a desire to create a new representation or rather a part of the visible tendency to both include beings other than human in our history and everyday life, and affirm their role in these areas.
