The article is devoted to the relationship between the work of Zuzanna Ginczanka and the volume
of poetry Pamięci Sulamity (In memory of Shulamite) by Józef Łobodowski. The use of stylized
elements referring to the work of other writers is characteristic of Łobodowski’s writing. The article
addresses the question of how Zuzanna Ginczanka, the poet’s friend from his youth, is present
in his volume In memory of Shulamite. A relevant context for such an examination is the problem
of writing after the Holocaust and the idea of God’s silence in the face of the tragedy of war.
The article also discusses the infl uence of the biblical tradition, in particular the Song of Songs,
on the works of Zuzanna Ginczanka and Józef Łobodowski.
