| 要約: | In the article the image of the Holocaust contained in Polish books for children is subjected to critical analysis in the perspective of works translated into Polish from other languages. Two works are particularly interesting in this context: Smoke of Anton Fortes, which is considered controversial in Polish and focuses discussions, and My Dog Lala by Roman Kent, which is basically absent from analyses and discussions. The polemical point of reference becomes Chika, the Dog in the Ghetto by Batszewa Dagan, which is rather criticized by researchers. The analysis of the Polish reception of the translated works makes it possible to point out the problems of domestic children’s literature about the Holocaust, related to expressivity, appropriateness and form, taboo areas, or genological classifications. Polish authors spin a salvific narrative, but do not allow young audiences to confront with the experience of the Holocaust, its tragedy and uniqueness. Fortes and Kent, on the other hand, avoiding pusillanimous didacticism, tell the story of the war without removing from the narrative what is indicative of the specificity and paradigmatic nature of the Holocaust. The article examines the reception of literary texts, which are analysed comparatively, using the tools of narratology, with references to other methodologies of Holocaust literature studies. |
