Keywords: Holocuast; Litzmannstadt Ghetto; postmodernism; culture of narcissism

Summary/Abstract: This article is the first attempt at the psychoanalytical interpretation of Flytrap Factory by Andrzej Bart. The author refers to such issues as Holocaust, postmodernism and culture of narcissism. Marta Tomczok compares the novel written by Bart in 2008 with the documentary Radegast by Borys Lankosz and Bart’s screenplay. In Tomczok’s interpretation judgement over Chaim Mordechai Rumkowski is not the main theme of the Bart’s novel. The researcher supposes that the main topic could be the contemporary story of the writer Andrew working on the novel entitled Flytrap Factory and screenplay of the film similar to Radegast. The author bases on the theory of narcissism of J. Lacan and the concept of postmodernist history of H. White.
