Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present some of the leading theoretical ideas in the trauma studies in the humanities from the last decades and to compare how the two poetic collections – Tadeusz Różewicz’s “Anxiety” (1947) and Czesław Miłosz’s “Rescue” (1945) – represent the trauma after the Second World War and the Holocaust, creating two of the models of the Polish “poetry after Auschwitz”.
