Teaching of Polish literature is presented in three perspectives. In a historical perspective, 20th century literature is displayed in opposition to Holocaust, a main issue of the century, to inform students that 20th century writing stands in the shadow of one of the greatest tragedies of mankind. In a literary perspective, 20th century writing is presented in comparison to issues of the avant-garde (and modernism in general) and in a cultural perspective, Polish literature is presented as a constant tension of ethnocentric (national) and eurocentric points of view.
