Yelling into Silence and its Echos. Czech Shoah Poetry Written till 1960s and its Reception

Original language description

The literary reflection of the Shoah in Czech war and post-war poetry is very limited. With the exception of a few poems, poets seldom return to this theme again (e.g. František Halas, Jiří Kolář, Karel Křepelka, Radek Malý). Additionally, literary ?testaments? of Jewish authors (Karel Fleischmann, Pavel Friedmann etc.) resulted in only one collection of poems entirely dedicated to suffering of Jews during the Nazi oppression (Ota Reich). On the other hand, there are several books of poetry about Lidice and suffering of Czech people during the World War II by Viktor Fischl, Karel Šiktanc, Libuše Hájková, Miloš Vacík and others. After the war it was only Jaroslav Seifert who created a figure of a Jewish girl Hendele in his collection of poems Koncert na ostrově (Concert on the Island), which develops the literary narration of the Shoah. As a result of this fact, the reception of Czech post-war poetry about the Shoah is almost absent. In my article, I concentrated on some reviewers&apos; remarks that have already been published since the war-time and other reflections of this kind such as editions of books by Jiří Orten, Hanuš Bonn, Jiří Daniel. A hypothetical reaction on the Shoah verses is in Pick&apos;s cabaret or Halas&apos;s anonymous poetic obituary paying tribute to Jiří Orten, which are rather specific sorts of reception. Czech Shoah poems printed or reprinted in Jewish periodicals (e.g. annual ?Židovská ročenka?, published since 1954) represent a commemorative function, even though sometimes with informative commentaries. They miss any analytical aspect.
