Les,

Are you confident any trace of those will remain in forty years’ time?

Bock,

When I was young, I read everything I could find on the Holocaust. At university I did a course on Fascism and National Socialism. I now find it increasingly difficult to approach the subject. I have always felt that everyone should travel to Poland, but have never made the journey. I cannot understand anti-Semitism; I cannot begin to understand the thought processes behind the Final Solution.

I think Heaney’s reference is to Milosz – it throws a dark shadow over a piece that would otherwise be domestic.

Less than a month ago, I found myself walking on those Polish sleepers at the terminus of Hell, trying to understand why they had been put there. I couldn’t.
