His childhood experience of his social environment is impacted by the unfortunate loss of his mother, and by the subtle but powerful and ever-present traumatic aftereffects of his father's war experiences, and his father's loss of entire family in the Holocaust. Janusz attempts to make sense of growing up in the working-class Communist Poland, which, underneath is deeply invested in the Roman Catholic faith and nationalistic values, which come into conflict with the world his father fought for, believed in, and aspired to promote. Janusz concludes that no political framework can best explain the meaning of the human catastrophe such as that of Holocaust. And no political framework can protect a society from its collective trauma, its collective guilt, racism, and discontents.показать меньше
