NIEWYPOWIEDZIANE CIERPIENIE, CZYLI O FRAGMENTARYCZNYM PRZEKAZIE PAMIĘCI WŚRÓD NIEMCÓW Z SERBSKIEJ WOJWODINY.

The article deals with the issue of repression experienced by the Germans from Serbian Vojvodina after World War II (mostly in the period of 1944-48). The author is particularly interested in the mode in which the stories of these traumatic experiences function in the cross-generational tradition. Thus, the causes of the occurrence of such stories in German families are pinpointed. These considerations are supplemented with the excerpts of the statements made by the German minority representatives still living in Serbia. They serve to illustrate the basic theses of the paper.
