Originally published in Polish to great acclaim and based on
interviews with survivors of the Holocaust in Poland, Holocaust and
Memory provides a moving description of their life during the war
and the sense they made of it. The book begins by looking at the
differences between the wartime experiences of Jews and Poles in
occupied Poland, both in terms of Nazi legislation and individual
experiences. On the Aryan side of the ghetto wall, Jews could
either be helped or blackmailed by Poles. The largest section of
the book reconstructs everyday life in the ghetto. The
psychological consequences of wartime experiences are explored,
including interviews with survivors who stayed on in Poland after
the war and were victims of anti-Semitism again in 1968. These
discussions bring into question some of the accepted survivor
stereotypes found in Holocaust literature. A final chapter looks at
the legacy of the Holocaust, the problems of transmitting
experience and of the place of the Holocaust in Polish history and
culture.
