Summary/Abstract: The article provides a reconstruction of the parabolic reading of the works by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Erich Fromm – testimonies of the witnesses of German Nazism of 1930s and 40s. – as present in Stanisław Barańczak’s essays from mid 70s which address the authoritarian reality of the People’s Republic of Poland and the dilemmas of Polish opposition of the 1960s. and 70s. The second part of the article is devoted to the reflection on the influence of both authors on Barańczak’s New Wave poetry, especially of the elements of Bonhoeffer’s preaching rhetoric on Barańczak’s poetic volume Sztuczne oddychanie (1974).
