On Mother and Fatherland

More about the book

The narrative explores the profound struggle of a child-artist grappling with the historical trauma of the Holocaust as represented by their parent. This journey is not merely about imitation but delves into the essential themes of identity, personal agency, and the quest for meaning in the shadow of past horrors. Through the lens of art, the book presents a unique and unexpected interpretation of this complex relationship, paralleling the themes found in Art Spiegelman's Maus while offering a distinctive Polish perspective.
