| description | To me, Whose is the Holocause Today? by MartaTomczokis a fantastic book, exquisitely written, inspiring and intellectually stimulating, opening interesting avenues in the study of literature. In the context of existing research on the representations of the Holocaust in Polish contemporary prose, this study contributes new, original interpretations. [T]he book’s eponymous question sounds dramatic in the context of the end of the era of memory and of the era of witnesses. We are dealing with a rapid and uncontrolled eruption of post-memory, or even ‘post-post-memory’, often betraying history in favour of the sophisticated historic politics; the truth (as epistemological and ethical responsibility) is betrayed in favour of post-truth; the labour of understanding and the risk of self-knowing is betrayed for the comfort of illusory self-affirmations and identity myths. The author is extremely sensitive to all these phenomena. In studying them, she utilises not only the tools of an experienced historian and literary critic, and anthropologist of culture and pop culture, but eventually also of a person concerned (so to speak) by the state of the national imagination, and by the condition of the Polish people. I find this moral aspect of the book by Marta Tomczok particularly valuable. (Prof. Jacek Leociak) |
