The author of the article asks the emigration literature a perverse question concerning the world that it does not present. He references a Polish book by Juliusz Kornhauser and Adam Zagajewski, famous in early 1970s. He enumerates the peculiar “blanks” in this text, the spheres of the American reality that have not been shown in the emigration literature. The reason why they have been ignored was not always the ongoing propaganda warfare in the ideologically divided world of the era.

In the article, the author presents the disappointment, as recorded in the literary texts of the Solidarity emigration, with the Western world, particularly the USA, the myth of which used to be very persistent in the People’s Republic of Poland as well as in early nineties. One source of this disappointment were the egalitarian ideas shared by the generations that grew up in Communist Poland. As a result, the American experience of authors of the Solidarity emigration has brought a gradual deconstruction of American myths in their artistic output.

“Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza” (“The Polish Daily & Soldier’s Daily”), along the “Wiadomości” of London and the Parisian “Kultura”, was the most important periodical of the wartime independence emigration. Although very popular among emigrants, for years it had remained less known to readers in Poland. 2008 finally saw a monograph of this journal by Jolanta Chwastyk-Kowalczyk. Reading of her study Londyński „Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza” 1944–1989. Gazeta codzienna jako środek przekazu kulturowych [London emigration’s “Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza”, 1944–1989. A daily newspaper as a medium of cultural messages] demonstrates the culture-forming role of the journal. The Author recalls tens of names of the newspaper’s collaborators, quotes hundreds of published reviews and discussions of literary works and cultural events. In her approach, a daily newspaper becomes a record of the intellectual life of the independence emigration. My article is not a review of the book by Jolanta Chwastyk-Kowalczyk. My goal is to complement her study with a topic which has lost much of its distinctness in an enormous number of facts recalled by the author. Namely, I have paid attention to the significance of the Polish-Jewish dialogue which had been developing for many years in the pages of the London-based journal. A person to have a crucial role was Wacław Zagórski, the editor of the “Tydzień Polski” supplement. The name of Józef Lichten, who authored several dozen articles, is not mentioned in the study by the researcher of emigration press at all, the cultural activity of other Polish Jews is not sufficiently emphasized either. The book by Jolanta Chwastyk-Kowalczyk will probably remain the most comprehensive monograph of „Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza” for many years, therefore my proposal to researchers of the emigration literature is a kind of supplement, complementing the image of the journal.

In the article, I discuss novels by ideologists and activists of the inter-war nationalist movement. Popular literature played a significant role in propagation of nationalist ideas. When looking at female characters in novels by Roman Dmowski, Stanisław Piasecki, Władysław Jan Grabski, Adam Doboszyński and Jędrzej Giertych, I indicate the role of stereotype as well as the presence of patriarchal and anti-Semitic discourse in these novels. In works of the young generation of nationalists, one may find more diversified portraits of women, which is connected with progressing emancipation of women in the inter-war period, as well as beginnings of their activity in the nationalist movement. I show the hazards connected with focusing on the feminist discourse without the context of the ideology propagated by these works. Therefore, I pay attention to relationships between the ideological assumptions of the National Radical Camp (ONR) and creation of the presented world in the works under discussion.

The quarterly “Tematy”, edited by Paweł Mayewski, was published in the years 1961–1969. In 32 issues the editors published reprints of essayistic texts from elite American magazines, presenting works in the field of sociology, political science and literary criticism. There were also many translations poems of the greatest contemporary American poets. The eminent professors of American universities, as well as many Polish emigre writers, cooperated with Mayewski. Those appeared mainly in the role of translators. Mayewski’s magazine was part of the ideological offensive against communism and the place of presentation of the complex image of American society in the times of the Black people’s struggle for equality, student rebellion against the establishment, counterculture successes and at the same time the triumph of the consumerist model of society. All these issues as well as disputes among American intellectuals about the place of literature in the modern society found expression in the Mayewski’s quaterly. The sixties were a period of exhaustion of the potential of the New Critics’ school and the search for new ways of interpreting literary works. Also in this dimension, the quarterly addressed to the Polish reader has become a place for the presentation of new ideas.

Notes of Załmen Gradowski, one of the leaders of the Sonderkommando revolt in Auschwitz-Birkenau, is one of the most important documents of the Holocaust produced by his victims during the crime and at its epicenter. Their fragments were published in Poland and Israel. Gradowski was a religious Jew from Grodno, he prayed daily in the camp and wrote down transport information. His family: mother, wife and children, immediately after arriving in Auschwitz, were murdered in gas chambers. The author analyzes the literary value of this extraordinary document, which consists of narrative diary entries and imaginative lyrical inscriptions, rooted in the Jewish tradition of conversation with God. So we read the records of the nature of the report and lament. This unique record – given its place of origin and literary values – a testimony of the crimes committed against and suffering of the victims of the Holocaust once again asks us about the inexpressibility of the Holocaust.

The notes by Zalman Gradowski, one of the leaders of the rebellion of the Sonderkommando in Auschwitz-Birkenau, are one of the most important Holocaust documents created by its victims right from its epicentre as the crime progressed. Their fragments were published in Poland and Israel. Gradowski was a religious Jews from Grodno. At the camp, he prayed every day, and wrote down details of each transport. His family: mother, wife, and children, were murdered in the gas chambers immediately upon arriving at Auschwitz. The author of the article analysed the literary value of this exceptional document, which consists of diary notes of a narrative nature, and evocative lyrical passages being a discussion with God deeply rooted in Judaic traditions. Thus, one reads an account of the nature of a report and lament. That exceptional – given its place of origin and literary value – record of the crime, and the suffering of the victims of the Holocaust urges one to ask once more about the inexpressibility of Shoah.
