Abstracts

PL

The article focuses on the analysis of the issue of postmemory (a term by M. Hirsch) on the basis of materials (narrative interviews with persons brought up by Holocaust survivors) collected by Mikołaj Grynberg in the collection Oskarżam Auschwitz. Opowieści rodzinne [I Accuse Auschwitz. Family Tales] (published in 2014). The goal of the text is to present and attempt to interpret the experiences of “the generation after” in the context of the phenomenon of intergenerational transmission of memories, as well as to point out the destructive mechanisms and consequences of postmemory. Searching for an answer to the question about the effect of a wartime trauma on the identity of those who have suffered it and those who have inherited it as postmemory, the author references, among others, the thought of M. Hirsch, H. Raczymow and E. Sicher.
