Abstract

In this article we present the polish writer of jewish origin Hanna Krall through literary analysis of her novel The Subtenant, which contains autobiographical elements. The novel presents divided personality of a girl survivor of Holocaust and discusses a theme of polish, jewish and mixed polish-jewish identity. Through the observation of memory and processes of memory creation, the author shows an invention of false identity and the repression of the real one, a type of behaviour typical to some survivors.
