Abstract

The aim of this paper is to compare and analyse two depictions of the experience of childhood, as well as the portrayal of the characters and events contained within two works: Od Karpat nad Bałtyk, written in 1946 by Aniela Gruszecka, and Dzieci wśród nocy, written in 1948 by Irena Krzywicka. Each of the novels depicts children’s wartime experiences, with particular significance being conferred upon contrasting portrayals of the experiences of German and Jewish children. The authors have successfully captured the destruction of the children’s worlds in two novels that are well worth remembering and contemplating.
