Holocaust Survivors. A Study on the Poetics of Documentary Films The essential study written by Marek Hendrykowski is a compact and straightforward guide aimed at anyone coming to the subject for the first time or just looking to improve their knowledge about documentaries relating to Holocaust. The paper offers both skimming and in-depth analysis of seven outstanding works made in the period 1993-2008 focused on key-problems of their distinctly different poetics. Author assembles evidence from the documentary film production of the time to describe the structure of message exposed in its narration, particular catches and figures, methods of lighting, framing, and editing as well as the collective feelings and emotions generated by these films. Hendrykowski considers the basic difference and fundamental conflict between two ways of thinking about manipulation in moving pictures language which establishes viewers’s approach to using (or over-using) of various stylistic catches, patterns of composition and narrative figures in this kind of documentary and generally in movies. Marek Hendrykowski’s provocative and open-minded study brings methodological revision of this important question. It will appeal to a large readership of filmmakers, cinemagoers, students and research workers interested in documentary film.

The aim of the article is to provide a reading of Gilles Rozier’s novels in the context of the phenomenon of Jewish postmemory (Hirsch), which in recent literature acquires a new dimension. The texts selected for disscussion exemplify the return to narrative and to the subject in contemporary novel and signal a new approach to postmemory employed by the third generation of survivors, participants of the Jewish revival. In Rozier’s novels, and in texts by other contemporary writers (e.g., Daniel Mendelsohn in the USA or Piotr Paziński in Poland), while the memory of WWII does not disappear, the focus most often falls on the narrative of Jewish life before and after the Holocaust. Postmemory exists in those texts in the form of the transmission of the word, repossession of the language of ancestors, cultural continuity rather than silence and separation, which characterised the output of earlier generations of writers (such as, for example, Georges Perec).

Objectives The humidifier disinfectant catastrophe in South Korea was a social disaster caused by toxic chemical substances. The present study aimed to examine the relationships between psychological symptoms and adaptive life functioning in survivors of humidifier disinfectants. This study examined the differential effects of psychological symptoms on life adjustment between survivors of humidifier disinfectant and the general population. Material and Methods A total of 452 individuals (228 general and 224 survivor groups) participated in this research. This study utilized the Adult Self-Report, one of the most widely used comprehensive mental health scales for measuring both psychological symptoms (e.g., anxiety/depression) and life adjustment functioning (e.g., interpersonal relationship). For the data analysis, multi-group structural equation modeling analysis was conducted using AMOS 21.0 program. Results The results of this study indicated that attention problems out of 8 psychological symptoms was the only significant factor related to life adjustment in both general and survivor groups. In addition, there was a significant 2-way interaction effect of group status and somatic complaints on life adjustment. Conclusions When the somatic complaint symptom was higher, participants in the survivor group were less likely to adjust in life than the general group. Taken together, the somatic complaints of the survivors more strongly influence the life adjustment than the general population. Finally, the authors discuss practical implications for survivors of humidifier disinfectants for designing suitable intervention strategies.

This article is a preliminary attempt to read the condition of survivors – those who were imprisoned in the displaced persons camps in occupied Germany just after the war. In this context author considers Tadeusz Nowakowski’s novel Obóz Wszystkich Świętych (Camp of All Saints), full of satire, grotesque and thoroughly soaked with sarcasm. The addition to Nowakowski’s vision is Tadeusz Borowski’s short story Bitwa pod Grunwaldem (Battle of Grunwald), as well as his poems from this time, e.g. Demokratyczne dary (Democratic Gifts), and also Jerzy Zagórski’s reports W południowych Niemczech (In Southern Germany), where the camps for DPs are compared to Henry Moore’s anthropomorphic figures sleeping in the tunnel. Separate reflections are devoted to the fate of Ida Fink, Shoah survivor, who was imprisoned in the Ettlingen camp. The writer mentions this time in the novel Podróż (Travel) and the interviews. Textual analyzes lead the author of the article to the conclusion that the narratives are proof of the inability to experience peace of mind in the time of freedom and generally the inability to return to pre-war times.

The study outlines the capturing of prisoners by the Red Army taking control over Transylvania in the fall of 1944. It presents the second wave of capturing: the deportations in January-February 1945, pronouncedly oriented toward the German community (Transylvanian Saxons and Swabians) primarily living in the Banat. There are described the circumstances of capturing the prisoners, the number of those taken away, the routes of their deportation, the locations and lengths of their captivity, the number of the victims, and the return of the survivors. Finally, the remembrance of the 1945 Soviet deportations, their present social embeddedness is expounded. The source material of the study consists of specialist books, essays, published recollections, and interviews with survivors made by the author and other researchers

The article constitutes a preliminary attempt at reading from literature the condition of the survivors – people interned in German displaced persons’ camps immediately after WWII. In that context, the author considers the saturated with satire, grotesque, and sarcasm novel by Tadeusz Nowakowski entitled Obóz Wszystkich Świętych. Nowakowski’s vision is supplemented with Tadeusz Borowski’s story entitled Bitwa pod Grunwaldem, as well as his poems, e.g. Dary demokratyczne, and Jerzy Podgórski’s reports in the series W południowych Niemczech, in which DP camps were compared to an etching by Henry Moore presenting human-like figures sleeping in a tunnel. A separate consideration was applied to the fortunes of Ida Fink, interned in the Ettlingen camp. The writer reminisced on the time in her novel entitled The Journey, and in interviews. The analyses of the texts led the author to the conclusion that the discussed narratives indicate the inability to experience solace during (apparent) acquittal, and the inability to return to pre-WWII times.

This study is based on data acquired by the oral history method and discusses the reflections of two generations of Jews in relation to the socialist regime in Czechoslovakia (1948–1989). The first generation is represented by people who had survived the Holocaust. The second generation is represented by the ‘children of the Holocaust’ (born 1945–1965). They grew up at a time when the political realm was completely dominated by theCommunist Party. Their attitudes only changed with the invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. This probe suggests differences which stem from contrasting life experiences.

Artykuł jest ustosunkowaniem się do stanowiska niektórych specjalistów od tematyki żydowskiej, że każdy pisarz pochodzenia żydowskiego ma obowiązek pisać o Zagładzie niezależnie, czy doświadczył tej potwornej rzeczywistości, czy też – jak w moim przypadku – los go od niej uchronił. Chociaż wiedziałam, że znaczna część mojej rodziny, której nie dane było mi poznać, zginęła podczas Zagłady, pisanie o czymś, czego nie doświadczyłam, uważałabym za pozerstwo/pozę. Szczególnie wobec literatury tworzonej przez autentycznych ocaleńców. Pamiętam ostrzeżenie Zofii Nałkowskiej, która nie uznawała fikcji na temat Holokaustu. I przecież znane są wypadki takiej właśnie nieautentycznej literatury z przeszłości. Można zapewne zrozumieć, że ci, którzy doświadczyli Zagłady, mogą posłużyć się doświadczeniami w prozie fikcyjnej. Nie tak dawno natknęłam się na dwa teksty, w których zostałam oskarżona o „nieprzepracowanie” Holokaustu w moich wierszach. Takie podejście jest dla mnie niczym innym niż odwrotną stronę rasizmu. Niektórzy specjaliści od tematów żydowskich żywią przekonanie, że Żydzi powinni pisać tylko o Żydach, Zagładzie i znowu… o Żydach. Dla mnie osobiście jedną z ważniejszych lekcji o Holokauście była twórczość Henryka Grynberga, który przeżył tę traumę. Lektura ta stała się dla mnie lekcją empatii, wiele jego utworów analizowałam, recenzowałam, ale nigdy nie pretendowałabym, że coś podobnego przeżyłam. A skoro nie przeżyłam, nie mogłabym tego „przepracowywać”. Moją autentyczną traumą było wygnanie. I dopiero ta faza mojego życia spowodowała „przepracowanie” w pewnym sensie „nieprzepracowanej” rzeczywistości. Dopiero wtedy zrozumiałam, że całe powojenne życie moich rodziców było swoistym wygnaniem, zrozumiałam ich poczucie utraty i tęsknotę za Lwowem. W 1991 roku, zwiedzając Salę Dziecięcą w Muzeum Holokaustu w Jerozolimie i słysząc powtarzane imiona milionów dzieci zamordowanych podczas wojny, byłam w stanie przeżyć autentyczną żałobę po moich nieznanych mi kuzynach. I to zdołałam przepracować.

The article is an attempt at a creative reading (one that employs figures and other works by the discussed writer) of Miriam Akavia’s autobiography entitled My Own Vineyard.... Indicated in the title of the article, the most significant theoretical reference here is Aleksandra Ubertowska’s Holokaust. Auto (tanato) grafie. This article uses the Derridean notion of quasi-genre modified by Ubertowska to interpret an important identity-related work by Akavia, a writer whose formative experience was the Holocaust.

PL

Artykuł jest próbą twórczej lektury (przy wykorzystaniu materiału ikonicznego, a także innych utworów czytanej autorki) autobiografii Miriam Akavii pt. Moja winnica. Najistotniejszym aspektem teoretycznym, zasygnalizowanym w tytule szkicu, pozostaje książka Aleksandry Ubertowskiej Holokaust. Auto (tanato) grafie. Tekst to zastosowanie zmodyfikowanej przez Ubertowską Derridiańskiej kategorii quasi-gatunkowej do interpretacji istotnego dzieła tożsamościowego autorki, której przeżyciem formującym była Zagłada.
