TO PRESENT THE UNREPRESENTABLE. LEO GOMOLITZKY’S PARABLES AS A TESTIMONY OF THE HOLOCAUST

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to analyze and interpret a series of poems by Leo Gomolitzky entitled The Parables. The cycle, written in 1942–1944 in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, is a poetic record of the occupation terror and extermination of Warsaw Jews. Gomolitzky reports on fascist crimes, while at the same time recognizing in them the manifestation of the total collapse of humanity and culture, the degradation of the ethical and ontological order. The Parables belong to the Holocaust literature, they are the result of Gomolitzky’s contact with the so-called border experience.
