Abstract
It is the representation of death in the monuments
by Wiktor Tołkin found at the former concentration
camps: Stutthof (at Sztutowo) and Majdanek (in Lublin)
that is discussed. As an art historian, the Author confronts
Tołkin’s monuments with the theorical framework related
to the aesthetics of death representations in martyrology
museums. The monuments were created in the late 1960s.
The Author has studied how the monuments coincide with
the contemporary exhibition strategies used in Holocaust-dedicated museums.
