Summary/Abstract: The review discusses a collection of articles entitled "Niepokoje. Twórczość Tadeusza Różewicza wobec Zagłady" (ed. Piotr Krupiński). Its author directs his attention above all to the dissertations and essays which engage the problem of the interpretative community in which the Różewiczian “traces” of this past are perceived. The text also features a question about the Polish narration (memory) of modernity, and, to be more specific, about the role of Różewicz’s works in the revelation and interpretation of the understatements, inconsistencies and adulterations. The review emphasises the authentic polivocality of the debate about the literary representation of the Holocaust in which the authors of the book participate.
