Abstract

The aim of this article is to illustrate the manner in which stories about the process of becoming mature in the reality of the labour camp are built, in the context of the findings of feminist criticism. The author of the story examined is Halina Birenbaum, known from her numerous previously published personal accounts on this subject. In an interview with Monika Tutak-Goll It's not the rain, it's people, she evokes previously undisclosed emotions related to her stay in Birkenau. The camp events she recalls provide a significant supplement to the existing image of girls and women, attracting attention to this aspect of life in the camp. They are also proof of the relationship, recognized by psychologists and psychiatrists, between the experiences of life in a concentration camp and the attempt to return to the post-camp normality.
