“NEVER AGAIN” Association was founded in 1996 in Bydgoszcz by activists from informal youth Anti -Nazi Group, which has been acting since 1992. Marcin Kornak is founder and president of the Association. Our organization was established by people who opposed the neo-Nazi movement and racist crimes in the city. At the beginning there were several people in the organization, nowadays there are several hundred members. Among them there are about 80% volunteers and correspondents in Poland and about 20% co-workers in several European countries. Our organization is non government, independent and non- connected with any political party.
The paper compares Hanna Krall’s reportage and the film adaptation directed by Jan Jakub Kolski. I have analyzed the parabolic elements of their stories. Both the text and the movie are about hiding a Jewish woman during World War II by a Polish married couple in a wardrobe in their flat. I attempt to find out how the sense of the Krall’s reportage becomes ambiguous and unclear, characteristic to the belles-lettres. Kolski adapted the text that was based on another story. I try to analyze how this universalist domain (present in the reportage) was transformed in an artistic way in the movie. The parabolic elements present in the text and in the film make it possible to reveal the cultural archetypes connected to the Holocaust.
