Abstract
ABSTRACT This article discusses Dr. Arnold Mostowicz, a Polish-Jewish public intellectual, writer, and physician who, under German occupation, was coerced to assist in selections to Nazi killing centers. Later in life, Mostowicz developed a fascination with Ancient Alien Theory, which alleges that space aliens introduced civilizational breakthroughs on Earth. Employing ufological theories, Mostowicz worked through his enforced complicity in genocide to recreate his postwar identity within an extraterrestrial paradigm. Drawing on Mostowicz’s oeuvre of popular science, science fiction, and autobiography, the article interprets themes and tropes in Mostowicz’s writings as texts of disguised reflection on ethical quandaries evoked by the Holocaust.
