Jews Re-present in Muranów Neighborhood in Igor Ostachowicz's The Night of the Living Jews
Original language description
The following article places Igor Ostachowicz"s novel The Night of the Living Jews (2012) on the background of texts of other contemporary Polish authors, such as Sylwia Chutnik and Elżbieta Janicka, and shows that the reoccurrence of the Jews as ghost figures in those texts serves as a metaphor for hunting past. For years the Jews of Poland were forgotten by their pre-war neighbours. They were silenced by the narratives of communism, Polish national martyrdom, and a polonocentric view of history. Igor Ostachowicz gives a voice to the unmourned ghosts of the Jews of Poland. Although, the novel is an examination of Polish national conscience and the way Poles have dealt (or have not dealt) with the trauma of the Holocaust, Auschwitz becomes a metaphor, a universal symbol which Ostachowicz uses to make an argument not related to the history of the Holocaust.
