Na marginesie i w szczelinie przeciw terrorowi faktu. O książce Aleksandry Ubertowskiej Holokaust. Auto(tanato)grafie
Aside and in a Slot against the Terror of the Fact

Summary/Abstract: The text is an extensive review of the book by Aleksandra Ubertowska titled “The Holocaust. Auto (tanato) graphies.” It underlines, first of all, topics related to the diversity of possible representations of the Annihilation and the revision of the views of the researchers who approach fictionalisation of that event in an orthodox way. The author tries to approach critically Ubertowska’s concept as well as her outlook on representations of the Holocaust. She also looks at the terminology used in the book and seizing the opportunity she presents attitudes of other researchers dealing with this subject, which are very far different from each other sometimes. Therefore the text broaches such issues as: inexpressibility of the Holocaust, ethics of representation, postmemory, dual status of a historian and a participant.
