Abstract

This article shows the functioning of the social image of the victim and describes a particular attempt to overcome it, based on Halszka Opfer’s autobiographical books and Katarzyna Surmiak-Domańska’s reportage. This triptych proves that the adopted perspective determines the reading of the text and how difficult it is to break free from the social, as well as one’s own, framework.

Keywords:

victim, Halszka Opfer, Katarzyna Surmiak-Domańska, Polish literature after 1989
