Summary/Abstract: The article proposes reflections on the persuasive intention of Monika Sznajderman's book Fałszerze pieprzu. Historia rodzinna. From the perspective of the rhetoric of family memories, the issues of amnesia, traumatic blank spots and postmemory were considered as psychological and social processes leading to the need to reconstruct one's identity and make one's own ethical choices. The framework for the analyzes was the triad of rhetorical methods of persuasion, i.e. lógos, éthos and pathos, as well as the semantics and philosophy of photography.
