"Witold Pilecki. Confronting the Legend of the "Volunteer to Auschwitz""
Ewa Cuber-Strutyńska Witold Pilecki. Confronting the legend of the “volunteer to Auschwitz” Death had many opportunities to prematurely end the life of Witold Pilecki, who participated in the ight for independence during the war against the Bolsheviks and fought in World War II. Despite the risk he took, he managed to avoid death when he was at the front, when he found himself in the Auschwitz concentration camp and when he took part in the Warsaw Uprising. That it reached him in seemingly independent Poland and that it happened owing to, among others, his old brothers in arms should be considered a tragic paradox. Pilecki became a victim of the Communist regime, which brought death to him twice. The irst death, with a bullet in the back of his head, came on 25 May 1948; the second, symbolic one, involved killing the memory of Pilecki by censoring it for several dozen years. The memory of Pilecki was liberated and he was rehabilitated only after the fall of the regime that had brought death upon him. In the 1990s, we witnessed the publication of the irst biographies of Pilecki, which led to his return to the history of Poland and placed him in the pantheon of Poles who served their homeland to the greatest extent. Moreover, the past several years have shown a growing interest in Pilecki. His igure is now popularised by not only academic publications (which after all reach a rather small audience) but also various kinds of activities undertaken by state institutions, non-governmental organisations as well as football club fans.1 Among the increasing number of initiatives intended to honour Pilecki was even the idea to make an attempt at his beatiication.2 1 During a match between Śląsk Wrocław and Jagiellonia Białystok that took place on 3 May 2012, the supporters of Śląsk Wrocław prepared a setting including Pilecki’s portrait with a caption “Volunteer to Auschwitz” and the quote “Because compared with them Auschwitz was just a trile”. -

Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz
Modes of Reading Texts, Objects, and Images: Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz by Olga Ponichtera A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto © Copyright by Olga Ponichtera 2015 Modes of Reading Texts, Objects, and Images: Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz Olga Ponichtera Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation explores the late oeuvre of Tadeusz Różewicz (1921-2014), a world- renowned Polish poet, dramatist, and prose writer. It focuses primarily on three poetic and multi-genre volumes published after the political turn of 1989, namely: Mother Departs (Matka Odchodzi) (1999), professor’s knife (nożyk profesora) (2001), and Buy a Pig in a Poke: work in progress (Kup kota w worku: work in progress) (2008). The abovementioned works are chosen as exemplars of the writer’s authorial strategies / modes of reading praxis, prescribed by Różewicz for his ideal audience. These strategies simultaneously reveal the poet himself as a reader (of his own texts and the works of other authors). This study defines an author’s late style as a response to the cognitive and aesthetic evaluation of one’s life’s work, artistic legacy, and metaphysical angst of mortality. Różewicz’s late works are characterized by a tension between recognition and reconciliation to closure, and difficulty with it and/or opposition to it. Authorial construction of lyrical subjectivity as a reader, and modes of textual construction are the central questions under analysis. This study examines both, Tadeusz Różewicz as a reader, and the authorial strategies/ modes he creates to guide the reading praxis of the authorial audience. -
Kafka's Metamorphosis and Borowski's This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen
Journal of Jungian Scholarly Studies Vol. 6, No. 2, 2010 Unconsciousness and Survival: Kafka’s Metamorphosis and Borowski’s This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen Inez Martinez, Ph.D. Introduction: Literature as revelatory of psyche On the edge—the theme of crisis.1 The survival of our species is in doubt. As Jung said in response to the atomic bomb, “It is now a question of existence or non- existence . .” (“Epilogue,” Essays on Contemporary Events 90). In addition to the possibility of nuclear holocaust, we face the human threats to earth‟s life-support systems. Distinguished Jungian thinkers have offered hopeful responses to these crises. At the 2010 joint IAJS and JSSS Conference, for example, Roger Brooks detailed the healing potential of communal grief, and Jerome Bernstein articulated his vision of the evolution of psyche as it compensates the power-engorged Western ego through the development of “borderland personalities.” We know Jung‟s prescription. After acknowledging that “the principal and indeed the only thing wrong with the world is man” (“After the Catastrophe,” Essays 72), he placed his hope in the development of consciousness in individuals, in particular development of self-consciousness about one‟s own shadow. He writes: “But in reality only a change in the attitude of the individual can bring about a renewal in the spirit of the nations. We must begin by breaking [the power principle] in ourselves” (“Epilogue,” Essays 75). Daunting as this hope is, I am presenting even bleaker visions of human survival through Franz Kafka‟s Metamorphosis and Tadeusz Borowski‟s This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen. -
Night Over Birkenau
Dissident Voices The Poetry of Resistance Night Over Birkenau FEBRUARY 3, 2017JANUARY 29, 2017 / JR Night again. Again the grim sky closes circling like a vulture over the dead silence. Like a crouching beast over the camp the moon sets, pale as a corpse. And like a shield abandoned in battle, blue Orion — lost among the stars. The transports growl in darkness and the eyes of the crematorium blaze. It’s steamy, stifling. Sleep is a stone. Breath rattles in my throat. This lead foot crushing my chest is the silence of three million dead. Night, night without end. No dawn comes. My eyes are poisoned from sleep. Like God’s judgment on the corpse of the earth, fog descends over Birkenau. — Tadeusz Borowski (Trans. by Tadeusz Pióro) Journalist and underground poet Tadeusz Borowski was arrested in February 1943 and taken to Pawiak, a Warsaw prison used by Nazis to interrogate Polish citizens under torture. From Pawiak, Borowski was sent to Auschwitz, where he was condemned to forced labor. He was later transported to a subcamp of Natzweiler-Struthof and then to Dachau. After the war, he spent time in a displaced-persons camp in Munich before returning to Warsaw via Paris in 1946. Once in Poland, he joined the Communist Party, but felt betrayed when the Party arrested and tortured a close friend of his because of alleged “rightest- nationalistic deviations.” Borowski committed suicide in 1951. He was 28 years old.

A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Alfred University Effects of Trauma on Holocaust Survivor Mental Health Under the Supervisi
I A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Alfred University Effects of Trauma on Holocaust Survivor Mental Health Natalie L Skwarek In Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements for The Alfred University Honors Program May, 2011 Under the Supervision of Chair: Danielle D. Gagne Committee Members: Dr. Robert Reginio and Dr. Nancy F. Furlong Skwarek 1 Effects of Trauma on Holocaust Survivor Mental Health Brought up in a household of Polish immigrants, the subject of the Holocaust has been discussed extensively and continually throughout my lifetime. The earliest recollections I have of hearing the word Holocaust is as a little girl, sitting on my grandfather's lap as he would emphasize the word repeatedly, sharing with me the bleak realities ofresiding in Poland as a teenage boy during World War II. I would listen as he reminisced about the darkest days of his life, and soon became all too aware that this word, and everything that it represents, would come to deeply impact my perceptions of the world and humanity. Interestingly, my perceptions of the Holocaust have also been molded by my grandmother's refusal to talk about it, as her memories of the event are too painful for her to share with anybody, even those who are closest to her. My grandparents, in their two dissimilar ways, have taught me the importance of remembering not only this event, but also the capacity of humans to inflict suffering and to sustain it with strength. Indeed, I have never forgotten my grandparents' trials and tribulations during this infamous period of history, nor have I forgotten about the millions of victims who did not survive Hitler's vicious pursuit of Jewish and minority destruction. -

Presentation for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum
The Mother of all Holocaust Films? Wanda Jakubowska’s Auschwitz trilogy by Hanno Loewy “We must first speak about the genre of this wonderful Polish film.”1 With these words in 1948 Béla Balázs, one of the first and most influential film-theorists of all times, began his discussion of Wanda Jakubowska’s Ostatni Etap (The Last Stop / The Last Stage), the first feature film, that made the attempt to represent the horrors of Auschwitz, the experiences, made in midst of the universe of mass extermination. Filmed during summer 1947 on the site of the camp itself and its still existing structures, directed and written by two former prisoners of the women’s camp in Birkenau, performed not only by actors but also by extras, who had suffered in the camp themselves, Jakubowska’s film acquired soon the status of a document in itself. [illustration #1] Béla Balázs did not only praise The Last Stop for its dramatic merits. He discussed the failure, the inadequacies of traditional genres to embody what happened in the camps. Himself a romantic Communist, but also a self-conscious Jew, he spent half of his life in exile, in Vienna, Berlin and Moscow. And in the end of 1948 he was about to leave Hungary for a second time, now deliberately, to become dramaturgic advisor of the DEFA in East Berlin. But that never happened. Just having settled his contract, he died in Budapest, in May 1949. In 1948 Béla Balázs is far away from any conceptualizing of the Shoah as a paradigm, but he senses something uneasy about the idea of having represented these events as a classical tragedy, or a comedy, or a novel.
