Poza pamięcią, poza metaforą, poza słowami. O pamięci Holokaustu
Beyond Memory, Beyond the Metaphor, Beyond Words. On the Memory of the Holokaust

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary historiography grants increasing space to narration pertaining to events in contrast to the scrupulous documenting and recording of facts. In this manner, prime rank is being offered to witness accounts, which, even if they do not reflect “historical” truth, say more about events than historical data. One can ask: what is the memory about the Holocaust in the case of the second generation, i.e. the children of the survivors? Is trauma passed on? What is the difference between the transmission of memory and that of trauma? What does the memory of the Holocaust mean for the second generation of perpetrators? Or for the second generation of witnesses?
