Children have a specific perception of the Holocaust: it did not destroy their earlier world view, but became the field of first experiences. This book focuses on the traumatic dimension of the Holocaust and how it is expressed (or left unexpressed) in children’s diaries. «Here and Now» under the German Occupation presents an analysis of diaries and school elaborations written in Polish by Jewish children during German Occupation*. A Literary Return to Childhood during the Holocaust* is dedicated to Polish retrospective literature, in which authors return to the experience of the Holocaust during their childhood years.
