Czy wszyscy Polacy byli odwróceni? Problem antysemityzmu postrzegany przez Henryka Grynberga
Streszczenie
The article presents the issue of anti-Semitism outlined by Grynberg in his prose and poetry.
In the first part of the work I show roots of hatred for the Jews noticed by the
contemporary writer. In the second part I discuss the signs of anti-Semitism and I reinforce
them with the concrete examples from Grynberg’s works. Subsequently, I show the reader
that hostility to the Jews accompanied the Poles immediately after the war and many years
later. I present the circumstances in which the writer left Poland and emigrated to the USA
where he has lived to the present day. Next, I endeavour to convince the reader that Grynberg
present a varied and true picture of anti-Semitism. In his works there is a lot of subjectivity
but there is also a belief that evil does not appear as typical of the Poles.
I conclude ray work with the suggestion that Grynberg is a writer who aims for revealing
the truth and improvement between the Poles and the Jews. That is why it is his words that
should be reflected in our thoughts and deeds.
