Nieopiewani bohaterowie tragicznego pokolenia

This is an expanded version of text presented during II International Conference of Association of Polish Physicians in Chicago on 9.30.2019 as a celebration of the 80th anniversary of the beginning of WWII and the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising [1]. The author, a son of Polish physicians, professor emeritus of Columbia College Chicago, shows – using his parents’ biographies as examples – the fight for humanity itself and for the humanistic values of the medical profession under both Nazi and communist totalitarian rule. He described the way of life of his father – a Polish commissioned military officer, a psychiatrist, prisoner of Soviet labor camps, participant of the Battle of Monte Cassino, organizer of programs of psychiatric care for Polish soldiers and veterans in Italy, England, and the United States. Likewise, he described the life of his mother, a pediatrician working for The Baudouin House in Warsaw, who was rescuing Jewish children from the Holocaust risking her own life. Forced to leave Warsaw, she and her 6‑year‑old daughter illegally crossed the borders of several countries to unite in Verona, Italy with her husband. Sharing a soldier’s life with him, she placed care for their expanding family above her own job as a physician. The publication contains copies of documents e.g. discovered by the author in Russia at the time of making his documentary film “Children in Exile” about the fate of Polish children sent to Soviet labor camps

High Fidelity: Pedagogy and Postatomic Japanese Chronicle

With the 75th anniversary of 1945 barely in our cultural rearview mirror, the generations who experienced World War II firsthand have ceded their stories to the generations that follow. This article focuses on the 1945 bombings of Japan, particularly the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those who experienced the bombings, known generally and collectively as hibakusha, worked to preserve accounts of their experiences in acts of transmission across generations that were intended to prompt particular kinds of praxis. Now the accounts—at least those for public consumption—are collected in a variety of memorial archives and exhibitions, available in translation and via a range of media. This article asks, How can we think about the ‘afterlives’ of these accounts, or how might we understand the body of archived testimony in a way that is available for engagement by subsequent generations at temporal, geographic, and linguistic remove? To address this question, I frame witnesses’ acts of memorial transmission as teaching acts. I argue that their lingering power is a pedagogical power, meant to lead the audience, the students, toward care, attention, and action. I argue that the “lesson” takes the form of Benjaminian chronicle and its activity is one of appeal and response prefigured by Japanese ritual actions of irei, or making amends with the dead. The form and activity of these lessons frame a memorial relationship with testimonial literature that moves beyond moment of production and transmission into an enduring and accessible space of critical pedagogy.
