The article talks about the need to rethink the way of talking about Polish-Jewish relations in the context of the Holocaust at school. The analysis of the new non-fictional texts presenting the fate of Jews in occupied Poland and the attitude of Poles to these dramatic events in the past and today, by Anna Bikont, Mirosław Tryczyk and Marcin Kącki, prompts us to reflect on the purposefulness of such reflection and the way of its implementation. The concept of existential reading proposed in the article, serving to shape civic skepticism towards a narrative that avoids difficult and concealed topics, seems to be a valuable lesson of courage, needed to deal with xenophobia, discrimination and hate speech in the contemporary world.

Artykuł opowiada o potrzebie przemyślenia na nowo sposobu opowiadania w szkole o relacjach polsko-żydowskich w kontekście Zagłady. Analiza nowych tekstów niefikcjonalnych przybliżających los Żydów w okupowanej Polsce oraz stosunek Polaków do tych dramatycznych wydarzeń, dawniej i dziś, autorstwa Anny Bikont, Mirosława Tryczyka oraz Marcina Kąckiego skłania do zastanowienia nad celowością takiej refleksji i sposobem jej urzeczywistniania. Zaproponowana w artykule koncepcja czytania egzystencjalnego, służąca kształtowaniu obywatelskiego sceptycyzmu wobec narracji omijającej tematy trudne i przemilczane, wydaje się cenną lekcją odwagi, potrzebną, by zmierzyć się z ksenofobią, dyskryminacją i językiem nienawiści we współczesnym świecie.
