Her book, Treasures: Hunters and Protectors of Jewish Memory, weaves together stories of formerly Jewish property and Jewish objects that remain in Poland, focusing on their caretakers both Jewish and non-Jewish who bear the responsibility of preserving Jewish memory. In addition to Treasures, discussed here, she is the author of I\u2019ll Return when you\u2019re Asleep: Conversations with Children of the Holocaust. Both works are as yet untranslated.\nIn this episode we discuss some of the particular issues and ethical responsibilities of translators working on reportage and the different expectations that readers in Poland and the United States have when reading journalistic works that present themselves as factual. We talk about what these works have to say about the Jewish Revival in contemporary Poland, and we consider the particular innovations in the form of literary nonfiction exemplified in the works under consideration, drawing comparisons particularly to new forms of radio journalism and podcasts in the U.S.\nTexts discussed and recommended resources for this episode\nDo\u0142owy, Patrycja.
