Memory Gaps. A Family History

Keywords: anthropology; family; post-memory; Jews

Summary/Abstract: By taking a careful look at a series of pre-war photographs the author conducted a fragmentary albeit emotionally condensed reconstruction of the history of her father’s family. As a representative of the Holocaust second generation she is a carrier of post-memory – incomplete, intermediated, “full of holes”. The point of departure for the history of the Sznajderman family is a villa in Miedzeszyn – once the vibrant “Zacisze” guesthouse and today a non-place overgrown with trees, forgotten, and in no way betraying its history.
