Abstrakt

The goal of this article is to present the image of women in the Holocaust from a feminist perspective based on audio literature produced by Polish Radio between 1950 and 2022. My research included the Reportage and Documentary Studio and the Polish Radio Theater, as well as the regional radio station in Lublin. In the article, a qualitative method was employed involving content analysis, followed by comparative analysis. I sought answers to the following research questions: In what categories and to what extent was the tragic fate of Jews determined by gender? How do women remember the Holocaust? What thematic circles emerge from the narratives of and about women? What topics and issues are missing from the audio literature and what might be the reason for this? With full awareness, as well as poignancy, I hypothesize that the Holocaust lasted much longer than it is suggested by the dates recorded in the history books. The audio memoirs of the women – the protagonists of the analyzed broadcasts – preserve the testimony of the “era of the ovens,” and constitute a unique and emotionally moving commemoration of the genocide.
