Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the basic characteristics of the concentration camp language in the short stories of Polish writer Tadeusz Borowski. These characteristics are primarily reflected in the specific vocabulary, mostly German and Polish, related to the realities of concentration camp life. One of the distinctive features of the concentration camp language, as depicted in Borowski’s narrative prose, is the tendency to use simplified linguistic expressions. The paper also discusses some concentration camp toponyms, as well as certain solutions adopted by Serbian translators when transferring elements of the concentration camp language from the original Polish text into the translated text.
