The author comments on some fundamental issues connected to the representation of the bodily experience within Holocaust literature as a particular kind of writing based on two paradigms: the ethical one, blurring common definitions of fiction and fictionality (including the definition of somatic reality in autobiographical, quasi-autobiographical and fictional Holocaust narratives), and the body-mind one, funding the discourse of dignity within the death camps (intellectual resistance being presented as the only possible one within the sub-human treatment of the body). The author, while recognizing validity of both, demands a recognition of bodily aspects of Holocaust literature. He does so by using the example of well-known critical comments on Giorgio Agamben’s theory of „the Muselman”.
