The aim of the article is to present and analyse texts whose authors – members of the Israeli Third Generation – refer in various ways to the phenomenon of pilgrimages to the memorial sites, attended by high school students for more than three decades. This phenomenon involves such questions as: the role of the Shoah in the Israeli collective narrative, the level of its institutional commemoration, relations between the act of memorialising the Holocaust and military activities, and lasting confidence in the experience of pilgrimage to Poland as part of the process of the Israeli youth’s coming of age. The texts included in these reflections are used to portray the multiplicity of possible attitudes adopted by authors towards such methods of commemorating the Shoah – from unconditional acceptance, through the belief in their inevitability, to outright criticism.
