Born in 1921 in Zbaraż (currently in the Ukraine), Ida Fink studied at the Lwow Conservatory. She spent the years 1941-1942 in the ghetto and survived after escaping to the "Aryan side". She has lived in Israel since 1957 where she writes, in Polish, exclusively about the Holocaust: the collections of stories "A Scrap of Time" (1987), "The Journey" (1990), and "Traces" (1996). She was honored with the Anne Frank Prize in 1985. To be more precise, Ida Fink writes about how individual people survived - what resistance strategies they chose, what remained in their memories, how they tell the story. As the titles indicate, the stories are mere scraps and vestiges of the past. Only in this way, fragmentary and hardly epic, dry, sometimes tinged with a trace of irony or humor, is it possible to speak about the Holocaust. The short story form is imposed here not by aesthetics, but by the cruelty of the world. Source: www.polska2000.pl; copyright: Stowarzyszenie Willa Decjusza. Selected Bibliography"
