Abstract
ABSTRACT This article looks at how the post-1989 Polish literature becomes a mimesis of memory (Erll and Rigney), arguing it responds to shifts within Polish cultural memory of the Holocaust: from the absence of Auschwitz as a Jewish tragedy, through a wide, national debate about Polish complicity in the Holocaust provoked by Jan. T. Gross’s book about Jedwabne, Neighbours (2000), to the recent trend of re-judaizing the Polish (literary) landscape. It analyzes the themes and modes of representing the Holocaust and Polish–Jewish relations in fictional works by P. Huelle, O. Tokarczuk, T. Słobodzianek, P. Płaziński and S. Twardoch, primarily concerned with memory.
