Abstract
The decades-long debates over Polish-Jewish relations during the Holocaust have intensified recently when the right-wing Polish government embarked on a revisionist trajectory to purge any negative historical findings about Polish mistreatment of Jews. This deliberate attempt to impose a collective vision of the past according to currently promoted nationalistic political interests contrasts with the authentic voices that arise from real-time literary testimonials produced by Polish writers. Reaching us from the critical moment of Jewish genocide, this body of documental fiction not only belies present-day propagandist manipulations of history by acknowledging Polish moral failure at the time existential crisis; it also delivers a profound lesson about the frailty of ethical norms and the limits of empathy in the reality of genocidal terror.
