His works were often inspired by the highland region of the upper Hron river dominated by the peaks of Ďumbier and Chopok. His father was a railway worker. Švantner graduated from the Teaching Institute and taught at schools near his birthplace. After the war, he worked in Matica slovenská and film studio in Banská Bystrica. He died prematurely of a brain tumour. Švantner’s novels and short stories are considered to be the best works of Slovak literary Naturism (other authors of this were Margita Figuli, Ľubo Ondrejov and Dobroslav Chrobák). Their rudimentary characters were placed in the settings of a primeval world of nature and mystery, and preferred irrational feelings. Sources of Naturism were folk magic tales, ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche or Henri Bergson and French regionalists (Giono, Ramuz, Pourrat). These works often stressed elementary narrative situations such as sensual love, friendship, fighting as well as death.","PeriodicalId":425657,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction","volume":"97 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131512236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attending an Austrian school as a child, he would demonstrate talent in a variety of artistic pursuits, including painting, graphic design, music and literature. Starting in 1914, Buczkowski lived with his family in Podkamień. After World War I, he went to a grammar school in Brody where he also worked as a stonecutter and sculptor. In 1927 he started painting, and after his military service (1928–1929), he studied Polish literature at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Buczkowski was later admitted as a free listener to the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he studied painting and worked as a lithographer for a printing press. In 1934 he returned to Podkamień, where he worked as a carver and participated in the local cultural scene. Buczkowski made his literary debut in 1936 with the play Murder (Zabójstwo), which he wrote for an amateur theatre production. At the outbreak of World War II, Buczkowski was taking part in skirmishes against German troops when he was compelled to flee, hiding in the woods, and in 1944 he survived a massacre that took the lives of two of his brothers. After moving to Warsaw, he took part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Later he was interested in photography, and wrote his diary (Buczkowski, 1986, p. 12). Many of his texts were destroyed by fire in Czesław Miłosz’s apartment, and his remaining works would only be collected and published much later, in 2001. After the war Buczkowski settled in Cracow, where he worked primarily as a book illustrator. From 1950 until his death he lived in Konstancin, near Warsaw.","PeriodicalId":425657,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130530903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the Nazi occupation, he stayed mainly in Warsaw and continued to study in clandestine schools. As a soldier of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa) he fought in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 and was held prisoner in Gestapo jails and war camps. After the war, he studied philosophy and sociology at the University of Warsaw. He started writing in 1942, making his literary debut in a 1946 issue of the magazine Dziś i Jutro with the poem To Blue Birds (Ptakom niebieskim). However, he had previously written about the Holocaust as an eyewitness. Manuscripts of his poems from 1943–1948, including the cycle Seven Poems (Siedem Wierszy), In the Former Ghetto (W byłym getcie), Jehovah, and Smile in the Oratory, are kept at the Krasiński Library in Warsaw (Kuczyńska-Koschany, 2017, pp. 338– 350). His first volume of poems, Tin Soldiers, was published in 1948.

Themain storyline is short on action as it is based on descriptions of the lives and destinies of retirement home residents of Jewish origin, who are suffering an extraordinary hot summer. The atmosphere can be described as monotonous but somehow also familiar and laconic since most of the conversations are about the death which the elderly residents are about to face. (“And you wanna get buried or burnt?” Rudzka, 2006, pp. 146, 152, 183). The subject of death is not only evoked several times by the pensioners, but also by the life-threatening heat, which gets more intense during the story. The narrator’s voice comments on this as follows: “The elderly people were spoiling fast. They had cancer. Exanthemas. Abscesses. Boils. As if they had cellulite on their faces. Dribbling. Sweating. Puffing. Trembling. Whimpering.” (p. 271) Additionally, the head of the retirement home is portrayed as unusually strict and lacking compassion or indulgence. He cuts off the water supply in order to save water, makes the residents stand in a row to get showered or arbitrarily sends people to the “House by the Sea” that nobody has ever seen and from which nobody ever has returned. This basic plot is constantly interwoven with flashbacks to World War II and the sisters’ fate in the Auschwitz concentration camp. They survived only because they were test subjects for doctor Josef (Mengele)’s experiments on twins (→ At Home with the Hitlers. The Hitlers’ Kitchen). “He is approaching her again. doctor Josef. Slim. Heavenly. Not present. [...] Laughing. Loudly. Vociferously. Like a boy. Laughing with his lips. The greedy ones. The sucking ones. [...] He wants her to stretch out. To lay her naked shoulders on the metal bar that is covered with the excrement of strangers.” (pp. 204–205) Not only the narrator focuses on the detailed description of bodies; Czechna herself also emphasises her beauty and the fact that she survived Auschwitz thanks to her looks, for which she was called","PeriodicalId":425657,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116693430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
