In the post‑memory discourse the visual and textual remains – images and narrations – function as the main media connecting the present and the past. Whereas this text concentrates on the meaning of the body as a medium of memory transmission. On the one hand, recalling the corporeal aspects present in Marianne Hirsch’s works, on the other – Rebecca Schneider’s theories placing the question of the body as an archive in the very centre, as well as Alison Landsberg’s concept of prosthetic memories, the author shows how today’s theatre, performance and video art concerned with the issue of the Shoah, try to offer the possibility of the body‑to‑body transmission of history and collective experience.
