The article discusses the poetry which takes up the theme of the Holocaust of the Jews during the Second World War. It is composed of four parts. The first one concerns the issue of the “inexpressibleness” of the experience of the Shoah – the influence of the Holocaust on language and human communication. The second part explores the motif of destructive mark that the Holocaust had left on the perception of Europe’s cultural heritage. The third part of the article includes interpretation of poetic works in which crisis of faith is visible as well as doubt in God’s omnipotence, brought about by the tragic events of the years 1939-1945. The last part deals with the theme of Jewish tradition – identity, customs and symbols, which had to undergo reinterpretation due to the Shoah. This article is supposed to show the mark left by the war and the Holocaust, which – on many planes – became a theme of a lot of poetic works.
