Niezmienne prawo wielkiej śmierci. Otto Kulka, Pejzaże metropolii śmierci. Komentarz
Invariable Right to Great Death. Otto Kulka, Landscapes of the Metropolis of Death. Commentary

Summary/Abstract: As a child Otto Kulka was in the “family camp” (Familienlager) in Auschwitz. Now, many years later Kulka recalls those times. The camp was the place where he matured, got to know the world, had his first contact with great literature, and experienced the happiest moments of his childhood. Kulka discovers that he is still in a way living in Auschwitz, that he had never left that “metropolis of death.” Regularly returning there in his dreams, he reflects on his attitude toward the ubiquitous death, which he perceived as something irremovable, a kind of perpetual, imperative law being fulfilled before his eyes. Knowing no other world, paradoxically Kulka saw death as a manifestation of the operation of justice.
