This collection of poems by contemporary Polish writer Grzegorz Kwiatkowski uses the words of participants and observers to speak about the unimaginable reality of the mass murder of Jews in Poland during the Second World War. Some poems refer to the massacre in the town of Jedwabne in north-eastern Poland in July 1941, and the crime there is embedded in a wave of similar bloody manifestations of hatred at the time. Similar to Kwiatkowski's earlier poetry collection Žetev, published by Založba ZRC, the poet's expressive power is evident in this book through a minimalism that adds nothing to the spoken words, but allows them to take shape as poignant poetry against the historical backdrop.
