Den Juden Polens

Dem Andenken von Szmul Zygielbojm

Aus den polnischen Städten und Dörfern hört man keine Schreie der Verzweiflung, die Verteidiger des Warschauer Ghettos fielen wie eine Kampftruppe... Meine Worte tauche ich in Blut, mein Herz in großer Trauer, für euch, o polnische Juden, der polnische Wanderpoet.

Nicht Menschen, sondern blutige Hunde, und nicht Soldaten, sondern Henker kamen, um euch, eure Kinder und Frauen mit dem Tod zu treffen: Euch in Gaskammern zu ersticken, in Waggons mit Kalk zu töten und über die Sterbenden, Wehrlosen und Erschreckten zu spotten.

Doch ihr habt den Stein erhoben, um ihn auf den Kanonier zu werfen, der das Geschütz aufstellte, um euer Haus vollständig zu zerstören... Söhne der Makkabäer! Auch ihr könnt sterben, den hoffnungslosen Kampf aufnehmen, begonnen im September.

Dies muss wie in Stein in das polnische Gedächtnis eingraviert werden: Unser gemeinsames Haus wurde zerstört und das vergossene Blut verbindet uns, uns vereint die Mauer der Hinrichtung, uns vereint Dachau, Auschwitz, jedes namenlose Grab und jedes Gefängnisgitter.

Der gemeinsame Himmel wird über dem zerstörten Warschau leuchten, wenn wir unseren blutigen, langjährigen Kampf mit dem Sieg beenden: Jeder Mensch wird Freiheit, ein Stück Brot und das Recht erhalten und eine höchste Rasse wird entstehen: edle Menschen.

Władysław Broniewski

Żydom Polskim Pamięci Szmula Zygielbojma

Z polskich miast i miasteczek nie słychać krzyków rozpaczy, padli, jak hufiec bojowy, warszawscy obrońcy getta… Słowa me we krwi nurzam, a serce w ogromnym płaczu, dla was, o Żydzi polscy, polski tułaczy poeta.

Nie ludzie, lecz psy okrwawione, i nie żołnierze, lecz kaci przyszli, by śmiercią porazić was, wasze dzieci i żony: gazem w komorach wydusić, wapnem w wagonach wytracić i szydzić z umierających, bezbronnych i przerażonych.

Lecz wyście podnieśli kamień, by cisnąć nim kanoniera, który nastawiał działo, by dom wasz zburzyć do szczętu… Synowie Machabeuszów! i wy potraficie umierać, podjąć bez cienia nadziei walkę, we Wrześniu zaczętą.

Oto, co trzeba wyryć, jak w głazie, w polskiej pamięci: wspólny dom nam zburzono i krew przelana nas brata, łączy nas mur egzekucyj, łączy nas Dachau, Oświęcim, każdy grób bezimienny i każda więzienna krata.

Wspólne zaświeci nam niebo ponad zburzoną Warszawą, gdy zakończymy zwycięstwem krwawy nasz trud wieloletni: każdy człowiek otrzyma wolność, kęs chleba i prawo i jedna powstanie rasa, najwyższa: ludzie szlachetni.

Today is Stanisław Lem’s birthday and this book caught in a perfect golden hour light is my favourite one by the author, and it is a hard-core satire (another favourite genre of mine🙃) Sooo…in the best tradition of Lovecraft you start reading a diary found in a government building, the only document left from the past (because paper has decomposed, been destroyed by a virus), of a person sent to that building to work. Then, in the best tradition of Kafka, you read about this person’s journey from room to room, along the endless corridors of the building, on a mission he doesn’t understand because he can’t get the instructions since nobody in the government building trusts anybody 👀 Lem said the book is "combination of grim weirdness with humor", just the kind of story I could read on any given day 🙃 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instabookstagram #instabookstagrammer #whattoread #whattoreadnext #polishliterature #polishauthor #stanislawlem #memoirsfoundinabathtub #satire #dystopia (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYYvm5L0P5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve taught Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” several times and I’m always shocked how tightly written it is. Environmental concerns, race relations, gender roles, colonialism, place theory, untrustworthy narrator, and the list goes on. Powerful and succinct. Really a classic. I’m offering this copy up for sale. Limited Editions Club. Appears to be unopened and unread, though it lacks the black slipcase. Near fine condition, sheep’s vellum spine. Signed by Robert Shore, numbered 335 of 1000. $200. Message me for more details. . . . . . . #josephconrad #heartofdarkness #limitededitionsclub #firstedition #rarebooks #bookcollecting #bookcollector #bookcollection #americanliterature #britishliterature #polishliterature #modernfirsts #firsteditionbooks #bookstagram #bookhunting #bibliophile #bibliophiles #shelfie #bookporn #collectablebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CFiMjUqpIWM/?igshid=139wb80dp7w16

There have been so many moments these past few months where I have had to convince myself that it was all going to be alright. Day by day, night by night, it will all be alright. I’m proud of myself for not dissolving, drunk, into the mud like I used to. And I’m happy to be reading again. Thanks to my mama sending me a book by @olgatokarczuk_official ... next step will be reading this bad boy in Polish. #olgatokarczuk #readingtime #houseofdayhouseofnight #polishliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mj8GBlCp1/?igshid=12pqtx85o2edk

[romantyczni-pozytywisci]

Tag yourself: Polish writers as modern university students:

Henryk Sienkiewicz: popular sassy bitch, seems like everyone loves him, into XVIIth century and shit, thinks kidnapping is romantic, dates girls from high school, deep down admitted that Prus is as good in writing as him.

Bolesĺaw Prus: intelligent one, can do math and writing at the same time, interested in politics, seems rational but cries over love affairs at 2 AM, jealous about Sienkiewicz's fame, has the best roast, likes blowing up protagonist in ruins of the castle, Źeromski's bestie, gets annoyed by monuments

Maria Konopnicka: gay aafff, seems weird, patriotic, will harass you with death of the child in her novel, GAY, white straight males bully her, lawful chaotic

Stefan Źeromski: can combine cottage core and dark academia, likes deep psychological personalities, writes scandalous articles for student's newspaper, Prus's found him girlfriend

Eliza Orzeszkowa: Feminist, kicks asses of close minded f*ckers, loves nature and botany, will describe landscape in the most beautiful and the most annoying way at the same time, likes giving characters a cringe names

Serce mi pęka, gdy patrzę na tę książkę. Nie dlatego, że czytanie jej sprawiało mi fizyczny ból, a dlatego, że ktoś śmiał ją tak bardzo zdewastować. Nawet gorąca czekolada z bufetu nie była w stanie ukoić moich nerwów... #andrzejbart #fabrykamuchołapek #wydawnictwowab #kulturanarcyzmu #proseminarium #studiamagisterskie #polishphilology #study #student #studyhard #polishliterature #studygram https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhAPxEFs7O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qrrrg5ctt3fc
