    I'd Like to Say Sorry, but There's No One to Say Sorry To
    • The author of the notable non-fiction work "I Accuse Auschwitz" presents a collection of thirty stories exploring the fate of Jews in contemporary Poland. These narratives are neither optimistic nor cheerful; many of the characters grapple with their identity, some conceal it, while others share anti-Semitic jokes. The memories of the second and third generations emerge in entirely new forms. The author challenges readers with uncomfortable truths, revealing that Jewish memory continues to surprise and provoke thought.

      Piękna, osobista proza o losach pewnej żydowskiej rodziny naznaczonej długim cieniem historii. Podążając za narratorem, śledzimy sceny z codziennego życia, pełne czułości i humoru, niekiedy trudne, przepełnione doświadczeniem choroby i straty. Tutaj przeszłość bywa obciążeniem, ale także powodem do wyzwalającego śmiechu, a ironia i miłość pozwalają radzić sobie z gorzkim dziedzictwem. Bohater, kiedyś mały chłopiec, syn i wnuk, teraz ojciec i mąż, obserwuje rodzinne losy i pyta sam siebie: czyim życiem żyję?
