Summary/Abstract: This article examines the form and content of the artistic radio programs created by the Lublin-based journalist Maria Brzezińska, in particular reportage and radio plays [słuchowiska]. These programs introduce the topic of the Holocaust into the domain of audio culture texts. The journalist’s methods of constructing narrative and composing audio pieces represent different ways to talk about the Holocaust, in particular through documentary forms and fictional genres. The analysis of the programs at hand has allowed the author to enumerate the singular stylistic features of the artist, among them the dominating distinct perspective of the narration as it builds, the condensing of content, and the awareness of the author’s presence during the recording.
