This article refers to post-memory, which is treated today as very important problem appearing in contemporary literary reportage. The reflection on the memory of the second generation gains a special dimension in journalistic texts: on the one hand, it stands in opposition to the mass media’s postulate of covering the current news, on the other hand it allows us to pay attention to the situation of communities that are still struggling with the consequences of trauma several years after the war. The purpose of the research outlined in this sketch is to analyze the reportage Un Papa de sang by French reporter Jean Hatzfeld, which deals with the trauma of genocide in Rwanda, recorded in the memory of the second generation.
