Abstrakt

The concept of the Holocaust Babel Library discussed in my article was based on articles and lectures of John Barth, Anna Burzyńska, Umberto Eco and Raymond Federman. I show how this notion has crystallised from the popular postmodernism label that was named the Tower of Babel and had its beginning in 2000s. I follow a 2005 novel − History of Love by American writer Nicole Krauss (Polish, poorly translated, edition was published in 2006) rated among the so-called third generation. I show both the historical aspect of this novel (pogroms of Jews in  Słonim in 1941) as well as its ideological facet. The Holocaust Babel Library in Krauss’ prose is a sign of a funeral ritual consisting in the reconstruction of history from innumerable quotations, allusions and references to books.
