Summary/Abstract: The author’s reflections are not a review of Anna Bikont’s Cena in the strict sense of this word. Instead, the author uses her book to reflect on the issues it raises. What does the proper name mean to the survivors? What is the survivors’ escape from post-war Poland, not only from the historical, but also from the philosophical point of view? How should one understand the concept of gratitude to those who helped Jewish children during and after the war? What is the testimony’s status? What is the connection between memory and imagination when we talk and write about the Holocaust?
