Against Austria – the Postcard. On Monika Muskała’s Między „Placem Bohaterów” a „Rechnitz” Austriackie rozliczenia

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on Monika Muskała’s Między „Placem Bohaterów” a „Rechnitz”. Austriackie rozliczenia [Between the Heroes Square and Rechnitz. Settling the Austrian Cases] with regard to Elfriede Jelinek’s “Rechnitz (The Angel of Death)” included in it. Moreover, it shows how Jelinek’s play has been adapted in Polish theatres and discusses other publications dedicated to the Rechnitz massacre of March 1945 (including Martin Pollack’s and Sacha Batthyany’s books). Various materials regarding Jewish people being forced to work in Burgenland and its territories are recalled in the article, which also calls for perceiving the Rechnitz as one of many crimes that took place in the last stage of World War II: not a unique case (this issue is tackled in Walter Manoschek’s research), but the Endphaseverbrechen instead.
