The article provides an overview of the history of Czech literary representations of the Holocaust (with particular emphasis on prose) in the second half of the twentieth century, the period of the so-called Cold War (1945–1989). The author tries to show the sinusoidal presence of reflection on the Shoah experience in the works written by Czech writers, depending on the political situation and current artistic trends.
