'The Polish Theatre of the Holocaust' is a pioneering analysis of the impact and legacy of the Holocaust on Polish theatre and society from 1945 to the present.

It reveals the role of theatre as a crucial medium of collective memory - and collective forgetting - of the trauma of the Holocaust carried out on Polish land.

The period gave rise to two of the most radical and influential theatrical ideas during work on productions that addressed the subject of the Holocaust - Grotowski's 'Poor Theatre' and Kantor's 'Theatre of Death', but the author examines a deeper impact in the role that theatre played in the processes of collective disavowal to being a witness to others' suffering.
