Grzegorz Kwiatkowski’s poetry volumes brennend (2023) and ohne Orchester (2024), translated to German by Peter Constantine and published by parasitenpresse, deal with the Shoah in Poland in concise and direct, therein sometimes brutal language. Taking this as their starting point, the Denkpausen will feature a dialogue about memory and forgetting, the layers of history in Gdańsk, the Freistadt Danzig, and German-Polish literature.

Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is a poet and lead singer of the band Trupa Trupa.
