The starting point is the explanation of how Zofia Nałkowska got the story idea for her most famous book Medallions while working on the Committee for Investigation of Nazi War Crimes in Poland. The author then proceeds to analyse Andrzej Brzozowski’s études. She focuses on “By the Railway Track” describing in detail the plot and the vicissitudes of the film before it was relased. The film holds a special place in Polish history as it was shelved in the archives for 28 years.

The author analyses the ways Holocaust was presented in Polish films that were made during the existence of the Polish Film School. Using the examples of films, the majority of which remains in the shadow of the great „canon” of the Polish school, Haltof attempts to place the image of Holocaust presented in them within the artistic, historical and political context. The author analyses films such as Andrzej Wajda’s Samson, and Generation, Ewa and Czeslaw Petelski’s Barker, Stanislaw Rozewicz’s Birth Certificate, Jerzy Zarzycki’s White Bear, and Andrzej Munk’s The Passenger, as well as two short films: Andrzej Brzozowski’s By the Railway Track, and Janusz Morgenstern’s Ambulance. By analyzing them, the author writes about how ways of connecting and disconnecting the Polish and Jewish fate, the tragedy of children that were victims of the Holocaust, about the attitudes of Poles towards Jews seeking help, and of the film attempts to find the psychological dimension of the relationship between the oppressed and the oppressors.
