Summary/Abstract: Ładoń portrays the blind journalist, poet and prose writer Jadwiga Stańczakowa (1919--1996), outlining the state of research on her work and presenting possible readings of her output – with a focus on the role of her mentor Miron Białoszewski, or in terms of literature with disabilities (also from a typhlological perspective). Ładoń explores Stańczakowa’s memoirs Ślepak (Blind, 1982) as the story of a blind witness of the Holocaust.
