Summary/Abstract: Matijašević Željka, Pregled psihoanalitičkih pristupa holokaustu uz primjer tumačenja Devetog kruga (The Review of the Psychoanalytic Approaches to the Holocaust, on the Example of the Ninth Circle Interpretation). “Poznańskie Studia Slawistyczne” 12. Poznań 2017. Publishing House of the Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences, pp. 211–224. ISSN 2084-3011. The essay is an overview of the most notable psychoanalytic approaches to the trauma of the Holocaust, in the works of the Frankfurt school authors, and in the works of Shoshana Felman and Dori Laub. The last part of the article represents an attempt to interpret the film Ninth Circle by France Štiglic, and in this respect the article reviews and applies the concepts of Viktor Frankl’s school of logotherapy, while it also relies on Frankl’s autobiographical account of the Holocaust trauma.
