The article is an attempt at identifying Jewish traits in Andrzej Bart’s literary work and film documents. The Jewish elements tend to be unevenly distributed and include references to biographies of actual individuals, creating fictional figures, creating visions of real and/or fictional events enriched with symbolic dimensions. The Jewish theme is the core of the plot only in one of the novels (Fabryka muchołapek – The Flytrap Factory). The Jewish elements in Bart’s prose complement each other, or comment on each other, co-creating the writer’s  narration, and are rarely part of a work’s realistic representation. The elements have many roles to play: contextual reference, attempts to present the multi-ethnic structure of Polish society, tackling the subject of the Holocaust, or antisemitism and the difficult Polish –Jewish relations. Bart tends to discuss this issue more frequently in his films, in the Złe miasto? (Evil City?) documentary series and in Radegast, shot in cooperation with Borys Lankosz.

The text is an attempt to investiage the impact of Zbigniew Herbert’s Armenian grandmother on his ethical outlook on the world. While in his poetry and memoirs there are only few references to Maria of Bałabans and only one poem is entirely about her, contextual references to his grandmother can be traced in most of Herbert’s works and these further emphasise his moral outlook on the world. Furthermore, family memories also confirm the significance of the Armenian grandmother in Herbert’s private and literary life. A very important element of the relationship which brings together the poet and his grandmother is points he role of multiethnic Lviv with which his family had connections for centuries.
