TI - Genealogy of Loss: Holocaust Memory in the Work of Piotr Paziński and Third-Generation Polish Jews
AB - This paper concerns the literary output of third-generation Polish Jews, especially the compositions of Piotr Paziński, who is the most recognized member of this generation. An analysis of the literary achievement of this author brings to light the features characteristic for the entire group and elucidates the way its representatives perceive the  Holocaust and the history of Jews in Poland. Most space in third-generation works is taken up by the writers’ struggle with memory, as authors attempt to grasp and safeguard the memories of a world which gradually slips into obscurity, and to revive a bygone reality. Nevertheless, they approach this challenge diff erently than the generation of their parents, which was touched by family trauma, or the very survivors themselves.
