    Czech Bystanders Writing Poetry about the Shoah. Different ways of poetic languages in the first post-war literary reactions

  • Original language description

    Despite the fact that Kolář's shocking prosaic narration in verses is unique in the context of Czech poetry about the Shoah, Hiršal's curt style approaches the experimental artistic utterance of his colleague. Moreover, Bednář is probably the first Czech poet who - in 1946 - raised the major issue of asking about the form in which the Shoah is literarily graspable. Kolář's writings seem to be an answer either to Bednář's appeal or the later Adorno's proclamation which is set in a more general way. Most of the aforementioned poets, writing usually just a single poem about the Jewish annihilation, used traditional ways of poetic language in iamb and rhymes. However, Bednář already loosed the iambic and rhymed structure. In addition, Branislav chose dactyl (apart from dynamic verses in iamb), which could be considered as a way to the free verse used e.g. by Jaroslav Seifert in Koncert na ostrově (Concert on Island) in the mid-60s. Biebl, Branislav and Halas equalized the picture of the Jewish tragedy by war verses meeting requirements of the official period martyrdom. Only Kolář was continuously returning to the theme of the Shoah in an explicit way. He was far from being only a quiet bystander, he was a poetic witness who systematically shouted out loud words about the horrible factory cruelty committed on Jewish neighbours the majority of whom had been lost forever.
