The text is a discussion and comparison of two books by authors representing the postmemory generation who fled Poland after the events of March ’68. Dziecko w śniegu by WłodekGoldkorn and Dom z dwiema wieżami by Maciej Zaremba Bielawski, respectively written for Italian and Swedish audience, are to acquaint their primary readers with important cultural andhistorical events of 20th-century Poland. The present interpretative essay includes issues touched upon by the two authors: anti-Semitisms, the Holocaust witnesses’ silence, childhood in post-war Poland, description of communist realities, the role of memory. Differences between the writers relating to their attitudes, style, and the question of Jewish identity are presented.
