Abstract
The account presents the fortunes of Amalia Reisenthel, born just after the end of World War II in Wroclaw into a family who had survived the Holocaust. Her biographical story addresses issues concerning the origins and fate of her parents during war, life in an assimilated Jewish family, experiences of anti-Semitism, studies and the events of 1968. The key section of the narrative is the relation of her departure from Poland as part of the “post-March” emigration and also her later return visits to the country in the 1980s and 1990s. During the interview, topics connected with identity and the attitude of the witness to history to Poland were also discussed, including her contacts with Polish culture and language.
