The closer we are, The harder it gets

Abstract: For the researcher, long-term qualitative investigation of a given subject matter represents an opportunity to acquire comprehensive knowledge of that subject matter in all of its dynamism and complexity. The author of this paper has been carrying out such research among Holocaust survivors, mainly employing the oral history method. This paper is an impressionistic story, a genre not commonly found in Slovak ethnological literature. It constitutes a first attempt to revisit material emerging from years of collaborative investigation with one particular female survivor. The paper alternates between reflections of selected situations and interpretations of events and processes which resulted from the research partner’s activities between 1995 and 2015.
