Abstract
The chapter explores the various ways in which Jewish return is manifest in recent Polish film and literature. Such returns function variously to express anxiety, loss, mourning or the recovery of lost identity, and appear in diverse forms, from tongue-in-cheek genre fiction to art house cinema. The article argues that the motif of Jewish return has shifted in recent representations from being framed in terms of engagement with a defining other towards an exploration that is more about rediscovering forgotten aspects of the self. The chapter discusses a diverse range of writers and directors, including Jaroslaw Marek Rymkiewicz, Ewa Lipska, Magdalena Tulli, Hanna Krall, Piotr Pazinski, Pawel Pawlikowski and Wladyslaw Pasikowski.
