Nazi Camp Speaking… Sur‑vivors Have Voice. Agnieszka Dauksza: Klub Auschwitz i inne kluby. Rwane opowieści przeżywców. Gdańsk, słowo/obraz terytoria, 2016, ss. 380. Nazi Camp Speaking… is a review of Agnieszka Dauksza’s Klub Auschwitz i inne kluby. Rwane opowieści przeżywców. The book was published in Gdańsk in 2016. It stems from the interviews with ten former prisoners of Nazi German concentration camps. These conversations embrace a rather long time span, including the pre‑war times, then the period between 1939 and 1945, and finally present times. The reader is thus provided with the panoramic view on the character’s fates, who are being persistently dubbed as “sur‑vivors,” since they endured the reality of Nazi camps. Currently, these people form a dwindling and hermetic group, whose members struggle with their everyday lives and seek their place in the contemporary society, which – if one keeps in mind their experience of the wartime – is tremendously difficult.

The article attempts to characterize the specific literary form of an extended interview. Relying on theresearch after 1945, theauthor evaluates various classification proposals and points to its crossgeneric features of non-fiction. He concentrates on the interviewee oriented character of the form and sees its potential in the broad thematic scope and the possibility to present or confront worldviews. Given the fact that the extended interview in Poland flourished in the 1990s, its heyday coincided with socio-political transformations. This success was due to the lifting of censorship and the emergence of publishing houses in the private sector.
