Abstract
The discussion concerns the poems by an emigration poet Józef Łobodziński which are devoted to Zuzanna Ginczanka, a poet murdered just before the end of the war. She authored one collection of poems titled O centaurach which was published before the war and forecast a very interesting artistic output. Łobodziński titled his collection-epitaph Pamięci Sulamity. The collection combines eighteen poems - memoirs of the deceased poet. The author creates a peculiar poetic epitaph in which the character of the murdered Jew occupies a special place. The poems exhibit a specific relation between both poets as kindred spirits and also based on their love for words. All texts contain parts which resemble a conversation conducted at various levels, and concerning diverse ranges of relations - from memories of meetings, talks, to projections of sexually-marked situations.
