Samobójczyni, lekarz i pisarz. Paradoksy opowieści z „półtora miasta”
A Suicide, a Doctor and a Writer. Paradoxes of Stories from “One and a Half Cities”

Summary/Abstract: The article refers to an authentic story of a suicide committed by a young Jewish woman, who on her deathbed converted to Christianity. This event roused the residents of Drohobycz – with Poles and Jews reacting differently – but did not generate an acute conflict. The daily life of those two nations living in Drohobycz was interwoven. The author treated the story as a pretext for touring the contexts of the period and the life of Bruno Schulz. This is the reason why Grzegorz Józefczuk wrote about, i.a. religious and medical authorities, leaders and the crowd, illnesses and cemeteries, oblivion and survival.
