From a large group of Polish postmemory literary texts, the author distinguishes a group that is considered to be significant and separate: Rodzinna historia lęku by Agata Tuszyńska, Utwór o Matce i Ojczyźnie by Bożena Keff, Włoskie szpilki by Magdalena Tulli oraz Frascati by Ewa Kuryluk. All these works were written by women. There are stories about complicated, often difficult and painful relations between mothers and daughters. It is important that these mothers are Polish Jewesses and Holocaust survivors. Their daughters represent the “second generation”. Fathers are absent in the lives of their daughters for many reasons (divorce, death, journey). This absence enables dialogue between the mother and her adult child, which helps shape the identity of the daughter and create the story about the Holocaust experience – the most important caesura and trauma in the mother’s life.

The primary objective of my article is to draw attention to the presence/absence of women’s stories in the comprehensive discussion about the camps for opponents of the policy in Tito’s Yugoslavia and to show the role which is played within it by the writings of one of the former female prisoners — Milka Žicina. It is accepted that Ženi Lebl’s memories — Ljubičica bela published in 1990 — is the first published statement on behalf of female victims of the Yugoslavian regime. However, Žicina wrote down her memories as early as the 1970s and then — fearing repressions — she kept them hidden for a decade. Before her death in 1984, the author managed to pass the manuscripts to her friend Dragica Srzentić, who initiated the publishing process. The stories first appeared in the magazines Dnevnik in 1993 and Letopis Matice srpske (fragments) in 1998. Then they were published in a book form as Sve, sve, sve… in 2002 (Zagreb) and Sama in 2009 (Beograd).
