Komiks w służbie historii. Zagłada ucieleśniona na kartach komiksu "Epizody z Auschwitz: Nosiciele tajemnicy"
A comic book at the service of history. The Holocaust embodied in the comic book "Episodes from Auschwitz: The Carriers of a Mystery"

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to critically read the Polish comic book "Episodes from Auschwitz: The Carriers of a Mystery" by Michał Gałek and Michał Pyteraf. The author draws attention to the risks associated with the choice of the comic as a medium talking about the trauma of the Holocaust. Placing a comic book within publications that fit the current of historical politics, the author of the article pointed to the elements that testify to his polonocentrism. The image of the body was analyzed, with particular emphasis on differences in the presentation of prisoners of the camp, men selected to work in the Sonderkommando branches and its members. Attention was paid to the fetishization and eroticization of the Jewish body, which is dangerously close to the Nazi body.
