Abstract

This article aims at identifying and reviewing themes within Polish 21st-century children’s literature related to the Holocaust in order to enumerate the dominant trends in the presentation of the Shoah. The first part of the article outlines the emergence of the works of children’s literature under consideration, while the second part analyzes the following topics, not only in terms of the inclusion in these works, but also, in certain cases, their omission: Jewish culture and religion, Polish-Jewish relations, and the circumstances surrounding characters’ deaths. The analysis culminates in a series of conclusions regarding, and a discussion concerning, the ideological background of literature for young readers during the 21st century.
