The paper brings an analysis of the forms and functions of the grotesque in Artur Sandauer’s literary works as well as more general reflections on non-conventional means of artistic expression applied to the Shoah experience. In Sandauer’s fiction, the grotesque poetics serves not only to expose chosen aspects of the Holocaust but it also helps to create metaphors concerning the basic mechanisms and fundamental processes of the catastrophe.The grotesque in the works of this and other Holocaust writers is a much wider issue, worthy of thorough study. The authors variously employ images of dehumanisation, ironically reproduce Nazi propaganda, mock highbrow culture, expose the contradictions intrinsic in 19th and 20th century humanitarian discourse or in language itself. The grotesque makes readers uncomfortable, questions readymade interpretations and judgements, demands independence in taking a stance on things which are beyond understanding. That is why it becomes an efficient device of artistic expression concerning subjects which do not easily lend themselves to more traditional and conventional approaches.

This article attempts to interpret notes written by Zalman Gradowski, a member of Sonderkommandos, about the gassing of Jews from the Czech family camp in Auschwitz. The first part of the text presents a brief biography of Gradowski, who was murdered in the camp, as well as the story of how his notes were found. The second part of the text shows narrative strategies (narrator type, metaphors) by which he bears witness to death of Others in the gas chambers.

This article aims to demonstrate the meaning is attached to fire in Erna Rosenstein’s poetry and art. Based on the pioneering analyses by Dorota Jarecka, I suggest that the particularly intense presence of fire in the artist's oil paintings, assemblages and poems is driven by the need to create a constellation of random objects, myths and autobiographical material centered on the experience of witnessing her parents' deaths in 1942. By analyzing various approaches to fire, I show that Rosenstein searches for a form of invigorating and evolving destruction in her poetry (which I define as “pyrophytic art”) which would enable her to fantasize about a world after a catastrophe, a world without human life. In this approach, poetry emerges as an extension of the ideas presented in her art. Taking at times narrative, fairy-tale or mythographic forms, poetry defines Rosenstein’s artistic idiolect in a more individual way than art could, allowing the artist's voice, her own speaking self, to be emphasized and dynamized.

The article is an attempt to answer the question of how the post-war visual artists connected with Lublin and its region referred to the subject of Jews and the Holocaust. The scale of interest in the subject in Lublin and the choice of artistic means have been related to a broader, national context and to canonical works created in the country from the 1940s to the present day. The author analyzes the work of Lublin artists in the first years after the Second World War, examines the development of the exhibition activity of the State Museum at Majdanek and reviews works devoted to Jews presented in Lublin in the years 2000-2020. She also juxtaposes the activity of local communities with the work of artists of Jewish origin who continued their activity after the Holocaust abroad.

Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak powojenni artyści wizualni związani z Lublinem i regionem odnosili się do tematu Żydów i Holokaustu. Skala zainteresowania tematyką w Lublinie i dobór środków artystycznych odniesiono do szerszego kontekstu narodowego i kanonicznych dzieł powstałych w kraju od lat czterdziestych do współczesności. Autorka analizuje twórczość lubelskich artystów w pierwszych latach po II wojnie światowej, przygląda się rozwojowi działalności wystawienniczej Państwowego Muzeum na Majdanku oraz recenzuje prace poświęcone Żydom prezentowane w Lublinie w latach 2000-2020. Zestawia też działalność lokalnych społeczności z twórczością artystów pochodzenia żydowskiego, którzy po Zagładzie kontynuowali swoją działalność za granicą.

The participation of Ukrainian Hilfspolizei in murders of the Jewish population in eastern Ukraine has been poorly investigated, especially at the local level. The articlr focuses on the activity of the Ukrainian Hilfspolizei with regard to the murder of Jews and the plundering of Jewish property. It also investigates the motivations of those who joined the Ukrainian police in the Sumy oblast. Ukrainian auxiliary forces took part in extermination of Jewish population and communities in many regions of Ukraine. But how high was level participation in persecutions, plundering and murders of Jews by Ukrainian policemen in Sumy Oblast – a Borderland between Ukraine and Russia? Did they take part in mass shooting or played auxiliary role? Who were members of Ukrainian police in Sumy oblasts? What about their background and collective social portrait? The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Organizatsia Ukra’inskych Nationalistiv) took active part in creation and activity of the Ukrainian militia (Ukrains’ka narodna militsia) in western and central regions of Ukraine. After disband of the militia OUN infiltrated its member in structures of police. The same situation we can see in case of Russian right radical party National-Labor Union of New Generation (Nazional’no-Trudodvoy Souz Novogo Pokolenia) and its actions in Russia Nazis occupied. How strong was influence and infiltration to Ukrainian police abovementioned totalitarian nationalistic organization in mostly Russian speaking regional center like Sumy? What influence to local police did the Soviet intelligence have? How deeply did integral nationalistic ideology penetrate in Weltanschauung of Ukrainian policemen in Sumy oblast? What were motivations which forced Ukrainian policeman take part in anti-Jewish actions? Could we speak about specific social-psychological motivations of members Ukrainian police in Sumy oblasts? Such questions in the context of “ordinary men/willing executors discussion” using new unpublished sources from German, Ukrainian, American and Israeli archives are addressed here.
