Through a chosen example, this paper presents an interpretation of talks about Jewishness in a present-day nuclear family of the third post-Holocaust generation. The author ś aim was to describe one of many variants of the presentation of Jewishness in a secularised mixed family in Slovakia in an urban environment. The wife in the studied couple is Jewish, and the husband is non-Jewish. Through this concrete family, the author sought to interpret: a) in what form has a family of members of the Jewish community survived in the current conditions in Slovakia; b) what is the impact on this form of the restoration of positive Jewish identity in the 1990s; c) how a family life-cycle influences the extent and the ways of consumption of Jewishness in the public and private spheres.
