Co czytano w czasie Zagłady? Refleksja nad powieścią „Czterdzieści dni Musa Dah” w kontekście żydowskiego ruchu oporu

Abstract

The article examines a possible perception of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty Days of Musa Dagh by Jewish readers in the ghettos during the Second World War. The archival documents from that time as well as postwar testimonies of Holocaust survivors indicate that the novel was popular especially among young people and members of the Jewish resistance movement. People in the ghettos could easily relate to the events described in a book about the Armenian genocide and even identify themselves with Werfel’s characters. The core documents for the analysis are materials from the Underground Archive of the Białystok Ghetto, including the writings of Mordechai Tenenbaum-Tamaroff.
