Abstract

This article attempts to look at the Holocaust memorial activity of writer, art therapist and exhibition curator Elena Makarova in the first years after her repatriation from the USSR to Israel. The correspondence with Makarova's mother, the poet Inna Lisnianska, collected in the volume Имя разлуки, will be helpful in introducing the main fields of Makarova's memorial activity. Makarova's work exemplifies an intuitive insertion into an era of turns - memorial, visual and affective. Precursory in this respect are the studies devoted to the Austrian artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the cultural and scientific life in Theresienstadt. The faction's literary strategy is also analysed, which, according to the author of the article, will be reflected in Makarova's works such as Фридл or Кописты. О забытых художниках Белостокского гетто.
