This book shows how these memories continue to be distorted and silenced in the Polish culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidering the ways in which Polish culture displays symptoms of a suppressed and violent memory while obstinately refusing to see the meaning of such symptoms, the author shows how the narrative of the Holocaust, in threatening the self-image of the community, causes a continuous anxiety and thus compulsive and neurotic reactions.
