1 Auschwitz in Contemporary Popular Literature : Assessment of the Phenomenon Wanda Witek-Malicka , 2020 single work criticism
— Appears in: Memoria , no. 38 2020;

'Over the last couple of months, one could observe a real flood of publications about Auschwitz on the book market. However, these are not scientific literature, but literary products, which, given their form and subject matter, ought to be classified as historical novels. [...] The phenomenon became the inspiration for writing this text, the aim of which is not only to review contemporary novels but above all to assess the phenomenon of this peculiar "fashion for Auschwitz literature" on the example of several selected works.'

1 Fact-checking 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' Wanda Witek-Malicka , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: Memoria , November no. 14 2018; Assesses the accuracy of The Tattooist of Auschwitz's historical framework against the archival resources of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum: acknowledges that the work is fiction, but also notes that the account of an Auschwitz tattooist is unique, and argues for the need for a documentary approach to unique resources around the Holocaust.
