In his work Limit Experiences, Jacek Leociak addresses questions
that are fundamental to the twentieth-century experience: How can
we represent such traumatic events as the Holocaust? Was Lyotard
correct when he claimed that reality had succumbed to the gas
chambers? How can we describe the "indescribable"? Moving
seamlessly through such topics as the destruction of the Warsaw
Ghetto, the carpet bombing of Dresden, and Jews left for dead in
the Nazi execution pits who miraculously "exited the grave" alive,
Professor Leociak succeeds in offering readers a profound
representation of twentieth-century limit experiences by embedding
them in a broad array of sources and building around them a rich
historical context.
