Drawing from the image of the shtetl shown by Eva Hoffman in her Shtetl: The Life and Death of a Small Town and the World of Polish Jews, the paper discusses the imaginary topography of the Jewish past in which shtetl plays an important role of the nostalgically reproduced and idealized space of an almost ideal community. Even before the Holocaust the space of shtetl undergoes various matphorizations and allegorizations in the writings of American Jews only to become even more strongly de-realized in the process which Rebecca Kobrin calls “shtetlization” in which even big cities like Warsaw or Lublin are transformed into places enlivening the silences which they have left behind.
