Abstract
In this study I take a closer look at the strategies of post-memory thanks to which the Polish culture tries to produce your own trauma of the Holocaust. The “trauma of a Polish by-stander” turns out in this context to be post-trauma created in order to assimilate, take over or relativise the Jewish trauma. The posttraumatic strategies chosen by me with the Holocaust in the background obviously are not the only responses of the Polish culture to the Holocaust. The palimpsestial overwriting the trauma with other narratives, a kind of post-trauma that aims at taking over trauma, usually, however, escape the field of traumatological studies, and it is time to describe them.
