W czerwcu 1942 roku Emanuel Ringelblum zauważył, że temat żydowskich lektur w gettach będzie interesował świat. Tak zakreślony problem badawczy nie doczekał się dotąd kompletnego studium. Autorka artykułu Resztki liter. Trzy paradygmaty lekturowe w gettach poddała refleksji ten aspekt historii gett. Literatura w nich obecna pozwala na rzucenie światła na temat życia i umierania ich mieszkańców. Ale podjęcie tego tematu pozwala także uaktywnić nowe tropy w lekturach książek, po które sięgali Żydzi. Tomy, z którymi spędzali czas, pozwalają uchwycić, jak mieszkańcy gett budowali więź z rzeczywistością, jak uczyli dzieci czytać lub znajdowali konsolidację w opisanym cierpieniu. Autorka stawia także pytanie, czy studia nad „zwyczajnym” życiem podczas Holokaustu można uznać za mikrohistoryczne.

EN

In June 1942 Emanuel Ringelblum asked: “What kind of books do people read? This topic has always been interesting for each Jew and after the war it also became interesting to the world”. This topic hasn’t received a comprehensive study yet. The author of the paper The Remains of the Letters. Three Reading Paradigms in the Ghettos examined this aspect of history of the ghettos. The literature allows us to shed light on the topic of the life and deaths of their inhabitants. But, taking up this topic enables us also to activate new ways of interpreting the books. The volumes they spent time on in the ghetto allow to capture the way the residents of the ghettos built or broke the bond with the reality, how they taught their own children to read or found solace in someone else’s pain. The author considers, however, whether the studies of ordinary life in extraordinary times of the Holocaust can be considered micro-historical.

The article author claims that Ida Fink’s The Journey can help attract young readers’ attention to the traumatic experiences of Jews during World War II. The analysis of the events described in the novel and, above all, the behaviour of the main character and the narrator, helps to create an understanding and empathic attitude towards the suffering of others. The article author claims that reading texts written by people who survived the Holocaust can initiate reflection that condemns racist and xenophobic behaviour and statements.

The article shows Romany life in Lunik 9 ghetto in Koszyce, Slovakia. The aim of this text is to underline the existence of such place in the modern, civilised world and formulate the reasons of it. Despite the European Union policy, improvement of Romanies living conditions and their functioning in Slovakian society is still dissatisfactory. From one hand the article makes a point of lack of humanity in still changing Slovakian government, but from the other hand it also shows the complexed nature of Romanies and appreciates strenuous work of people who really want to change this situation. Highlighting complicated issues of the case should also make readers give some thought to harmful stereotypes the Romanies often struggle with.

The article analyzes the image of Buenos Aires in the narrative of Ana María Shua, an Argentine writer of Polish Jewish descent. Urban space plays an important role in her prose described often as apocalyptic or dystopian. Through a historiographical metafiction, the author rewrites the memory of the ancestors in El libro de los recuerdos (2007), a novel that presents the life of Jewish immigrants in the capital of Argentina, divided into neighborhoods marked by their ethnicity. Eroticism and the use of the female body are, on the other hand, the topics that dominate in the author’s collection of micro-stories titled Casa de geishas (2009), where the brothel is described as a singular ghetto, rooted in the city panorama. Finally, the novel La muerte como efecto secundario offers a dystopic description of a future of a ghettoized city, where compulsory geriatric ghettos become a reality. The article, based on the analysis of the aforementioned works, presents a critical look at the use of the concept of “ghetto” or “urban island” in the construction of the narrative structure and space in Ana María Shua’s fiction.

The main purpose of this article is to analyse the reception of Izabela Glebard’s (Czajka-Stachowicz’s) works, with particular emphasis on her only book of poety Pieśni żałobne getta . At first Gelbard intentionally chooses poetry, but after the experience of World War II, she leaves it completely and repleces by prose. The root cause of this state of affairs is the war trauma. Very important is also the critical attitude of the writer to her poems. These works have not been appreciated by literary critics who treat them as a document and testimony rather than a valuable poetry. It seems that the Gelbard poems, like all her works, are waiting for a new, contextual reading.

The rescue of Jews during the Second World War is one of the least studied issues in the historiography of the Holocaust. The Galicia Region, one of the areas where a total Nazi extermination of Jews occurred, became a region from where a large number of Righteous Among the Nations came – Ukrainians and Poles. The article includes an analysis of the motivations that became the basis for people’s decision to help Jews under the extreme conditions which threatened their lives and the lives of their close ones. It highlights the response of the occupation authorities to rescue actions taken by the non-Jewish population. Despite the unambiguity of the Nazi orders to punish severely those who helped Jews, the real implementation of such sanctions varied. Finally, the article analyses the main determinants (of social, economic, and religious nature) that played an important role in making the decision whether to join the rescue process. The article concludes that no political which could had saved Jews, did lead to any systematic rescue efforts directed at Western Ukrainian Jews, yet the survival of those Jews who were hunter was possible for the deeds of some Polish and Ukrainian people.

More and more frequently a notion of space ghettoization is used to describe a phenomenon of dividing urban space into various enclaves of social life-or socially isolated worlds. Ghettoization that we describe results from various social processes which are increasingly reflected in urban space. It results from differences in the economic standard of inhabitants of given areas (riches–poverty) There is one more criterion, very important if we view the case from a profoundly humanistic perspective-the criterion of social emotions accompanying urban space. This justifies the title of this article. Today’s ghettoes may result from relatively automatic choices (lifestyles) and relatively objective processes-marginalization. We will try to make a general outline of the problems of ghettoization in a traditional industrial region, namely in Upper Silesia, related to diversification of income as well as the aesthetic and architectonic and urban criteria.

The main aim of the article is an interpretation of novels written by Piotr Paziński – especially Birds’ streets (Ptasie ulice) from 2013, but also Guesthouse (Pensjonat) from 2009. In his prose the author is always searching for traces of Jewish identity and memory of the war-time in contemporary Warsaw (and its surroundings). His literary strategy is a kind of spatial obsession – he exhibits places: destroyed, ruined or removed as a sign of lost memory about Jewish history in Polish space. Individual identity of characters created in his novels (as well as possibly his own self-identification) is formed during the recognition of places connected with singular biography and common history.

In the text the author attempts to describe the language identity of ghetto in the anti-Semitic discourse, in which the demands of “ghettoization” of the Jews returned in the 30’s of the twentieth century, also in Poland. Before the rise of the shameful wall, before the “Nazi Jewish Quarter” will be the vestibule of hell, the ghetto turns out to be a language construct in a radical right wing of journalism, built by stunts available not only in journalism, but in the language of fiction able to create worlds, in this case – of totalitarian future. It is almost a phantasm, “the place of the intention”, while the language, which “describes” / “imagines” the anti-Semitism by the anti-Semites themselves, is benefited by “creating not directly”, by a future designation (as it results in the plan of the Nazi ghetto settlement). The ghetto as a phantasm, synecdoche, metaphor, symbol; Jews as dehumanised by language space creatures – create a “comfortable” for the anti-Semites and anti-Semitic discourse concept, in which the Jew, as an identity, as I, is less and less concrete, deprived of individualism with time – with plots – starting to mean pure Evil. The place, however, in which are the Jews settled by the totalitarian imagination is (despite the ambiguity of its defining strategies available in the anti-Semitic journalism), paradoxically, more and more specific, although the language generating discursive ambiguity – in line with the inhuman plan of totalitarian history, will begin in a moment to be implemented in the occupied Europe.

Class, ethnicity, and state in the making of marginality: Revisiting territories of urban relegationIn the postindustrial city, relegation takes the form of real or imaginary consignment to distinctive sociospatial formations variously and vaguely referred to as “inner cities,” “ghettos,” “enclaves,” “no-go areas,” “problem districts,” or simply “rough neighborhoods.” How are we characterize and differentiate these spaces, what determines their trajectory (birth, growth, decay and death), whence comes the intense stigma attached to them, and what constellations of class, ethnicity and state do they both materialize and signify? These are the questions I pursued in my book “Urban outcasts” (2008) through a methodical comparison of the trajectories of the black American ghetto and the European working-class peripheries in the era of neoliberal ascendancy. In this article, I revisit this cross-continental sociology of “advanced marginality” to tease out its broader lessons for our understanding of the tangled nexus of symbolic, social and physical space in the polarizing metropolis at century’s threshold in particular, and for bringing the core principles of Bourdieu’s sociology to bear on comparative urban studies in general. Klasa, etniczność i państwo w procesie tworzenia marginalności: Ponowne spojrzenie na obszary miejskiej relegacjiW mieście epoki postprzemysłowej relegacja przybiera formę realnego lub wyobrażonego przypisania do odrębnych formacji społeczno-przestrzennych, na różne sposoby i niezbyt precyzyjnie określanych jako „śródmieścia” (inner cities), „getta”, „enklawy”, „rejony niebezpieczne” (no-go areas), „dzielnice stwarzające problemy” (problem districts) czy po prostu „nieprzyjemne dzielnice” (rough neighborhoods). W jaki sposób opisujemy i odróżniamy owe przestrzenie, co określa ich trajektorię (powstanie, rozwój, upadek i zanik), skąd wzięło się silne symboliczne piętno nadane im na przełomie stuleci, a także jakiego rodzaju powiązania między klasowością, etnicznością i państwem znajdują w nich materialny oraz znaczeniowy wyraz? Kwestie te podejmuję w książce "Urban outcasts" [Miejscy wyrzutkowie] (2008), w której metodycznie porównuję trajektorie amerykańskiego czarnego getta i europejskich peryferii robotniczych w czasach panowania neoliberalizmu. W niniejszym artykule powracam do tej międzykontynentalnej socjologii „zaawansowanej marginalności”, mając na celu odsłonięcie płynących z niej wniosków dla lepszego zrozumienia skomplikowanych powiązań przestrzeni symbolicznej, społecznej i fizycznej w obrębie polaryzującej metropolii na przełomie stuleci oraz, ogólniej, zastosowanie podstawowych zasad socjologii Pierre’a Bourdieu do badań porównawczych nad obszarami miejskimi.

The area of the Bialystok ghetto, existing from 1941 to 1943, encompassed a central industrial and service-residential zone. The buildings within this area suffered extensive damage during the war, and the vast majority of its Jewish inhabitants did not survive. The purpose of this article is to trace the process of the ghetto’s destruction and then the urban and social reconstruction of its space, examining its goals, stages and effects. As a result, it became temporarily a Jewish space, and later, when the physical and functional continuity was completely broken, a completely new, socialist, modern space.

Teren istniejącego w latach 1941–1943 białostockiego getta obejmował śródmiejski obszar fabryczny i usługowo-mieszkaniowy. Jego zabudowa bardzo ucierpiała w okresie wojny, której nie przeżyła też ogromna większość żydowskich mieszkańców. Celem tego artykułu jest prześledzenie procesu niszczenia getta, a potem urbanistycznej i społecznej przebudowy jego przestrzeni, jej celów, etapów i efektów. W konsekwencji stała się ona przejściowo przestrzenią pożydowską, a potem, gdy doszło do całkowitego zerwania ciągłości fizycznej i funkcjonalnej – przestrzenią zupełnie nową, socjalistyczną, nowoczesną.

This article focuses on the writing process of Juliusz Krzyżewski’s “Idée fixe” and the Shoah connotations of this poem. As it is shown in the text, the Winogórowie – a Jewish family – and the Mrozińscy – a Polish family – had been friends whose contact and mutual help did not cease when the Winogórowie were ghettoised in Falenica. It is argued that this situation was made possible by the forest separating Międzylesie from Falenica. In this forest, the poet, who later inscribed himself as a witness in “Idée fixe,” met girls escaping from the ghetto. Not only does the author of this article ponder upon the question why Krzyżewski has left these events unmentioned for so many years, but also he attempts to present not just the poet, but the poetry as a witness.

Autor szkicu rekonstruuje zawiłą historię powstania wiersza Juliusza Krzyżewskiego Idée fixe i wskazuje na jego związki z Zagładą. Przypomina wojenne losy żydowskiej rodziny Winogórów zaprzyjaźnionej z polską rodziną Mrozińskich. Rodziny te, mimo zamknięcia Winogórów w getcie w Falenicy, kontaktowały się i pomagały sobie. Z ustaleń autora wynika, że ważną rolę we wzajemnych kontaktach odegrał las dzielący Międzylesie od Falenicy. To tam wymykające się z getta dziewczęta spotkał poeta, który później przedstawił siebie w Idée fixe jako świadka. Badacz stara się zrozumieć także, dlaczego Krzyżewski tak długo ukrywał zdarzenia, które zobaczył, i pokazać nie tylko poetę, ale przede wszystkim poezję w roli świadka.

The aim of the article is to present the issue related to the presence of officers of the Polish Police of the General Government in the reports of members of the Jewish Military Union (ŻZW). ŻZW in its ranks focused mainly on right-wing Zionists and together with the Jewish Fighting Organisation (ŻOB) co-founded the Jewish resistance movement in the Warsaw Ghetto. Due to the fact that the history of ŻZW is controversial among historians, the work will include, inter alia, the ideological roots of this organisation and basic information about its activity in the Warsaw Ghetto. The relations used in the article arose from 1943 to 1963 in both English and Polish.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie problematyki związanej z obecnością funkcjonariuszy Policji Polskiej Generalnego Gubernatorstwa w meldunkach członków Żydowskiego Związku Wojskowego (ŻZW). ŻZW w swoich szeregach skupiał się głównie na prawicowych syjonistach i wspólnie z Żydowską Organizacją Bojową (ŻOB) współtworzył żydowski ruch oporu w getcie warszawskim. Ze względu na to, że historia ŻZW budzi kontrowersje wśród historyków, w pracy zostaną uwzględnione m.in. korzenie ideowe tej organizacji oraz podstawowe informacje o jej działalności w getcie warszawskim. Relacje użyte w artykule powstały w latach 1943-1963 zarówno w języku angielskim, jak i polskim.

This article is an analysis of Roman Polanski’ The Pianist, focused on presenting how the city space in this film, both its exteriors and interiors, makes it a story of Warsaw during the Second World War. The gradual destruction of the city is presented in two supplementary fashions. On the one hand, there is as a quasi-documentary reconstruction of the past based on literary (Władysław Szpilman’s diary) and visual (archive photographs and films) material, while on the other, there is a symbolic narration, where particular places and events bear hidden meanings. Next to Chopin and his music, the piano, interiors and city walls, the most meaningful symbol in the film is a monument of Jesus Christ carrying the cross, a statue standing in front of The Church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw, a motif that appears in the second shot of the Pianist and returns three more times during the film.

Although Jewish theatre in Warsaw can be considered to date back to David Hellin’s theatre, operating in 1837, it had not flourished until the late 19th century. At that time, Ester Rachel and Abraham Kamiński created a permanent professional theatre company, and in 1913 they opened their own theatre, whose tradition was continued by their daughter Ida. The article discusses the most important performances of Jewish theatres, their repertoires, technical and financial conditions, as well as archival and press sources for researching the history of Jewish theatre in Warsaw before World War II. The Vilna Troupe and the Warsaw Jewish Art Theatre WIKT performed ambitious plays, Jewish classics, and contemporary world drama. Michal Weichert ran the experimental Jung Teater, which had political ambitions. Numerous if short-lived kleynkunst theatres, revues and cabarets were created. Most Yiddish theatres were located next to Polish ones, but there were also theatres in the Jewish quarter, such as Centralny and Scala. The relationship between Polish and Jewish theatre life should be considered on multiple levels, with regard to audiences, repertoires, and criticism, as well as collaboration between theatres and artists.

W 1837 roku działał w Warszawie teatr Dawida Hellina, co można uznać za początek teatru żydowskiego w Warszawie, chociaż jego rozkwit nastąpił dopiero pod koniec XIX wieku. Ester Rachel i Abraham Kamińscy stworzyli wówczas stały zawodowy zespół, a w 1913 otworzyli własną siedzibę – teatr, którego tradycję kontynuowała ich córka, Ida. W artykule omówione zostały najważniejsze przedstawienia teatrów żydowskich, ich repertuar, warunki techniczne i finansowe, a także źródła archiwalne i prasowe do badania historii teatru żydowskiego w Warszawie przed II wojną światową. Trupa Wileńska i Warszawski Żydowski Teatr Artystyczny WIKT miały w repertuarze sztuki ambitne, klasykę żydowską i współczesny dramat światowy. Michał Weichert prowadził eksperymentalny Jung Teater o ambicjach politycznych. Powstawały liczne, choć działające krótko, teatry miniatur, sceny rewiowe i kabaretowe. Większość teatrów jidysz sąsiadowała z polskimi, ale działały też teatry w dzielnicy żydowskiej, jak Centralny czy Scala. Związki między teatrem polskim i żydowskim należy rozpatrywać wielostronnie, w odniesieniu do publiczności, repertuaru i krytyki, a także współpracy między teatrami i twórcami.

This year, there is the 70th anniversary of the German occupation of Hungary. Therefore, with this study I would like to commemorate this very important historical event, which had decisive effects on the future of the Hungarian state and society as well. Naturally, until nowadays there have appeared a lot of books, studies and scientific articles which present the occupation, but most of them deal with the problem in general, referring to the whole country. In order to complete the general scene, in my study I focused only on the capital of the Northern Transylvanian region, reincorporated to the Hungarian Kingdom in 1940. The city of Kolozsvár (today, officially in Romanian language: Cluj-Napoca) was the administrative and cultural center of the eastern part of Hungary in that time, therefore it shows very well the exact consequences of the occupation. First of all, I shortly presented the political and military conditions of the German invasion of the country, and after that, the occupation process of Kolozsvár. For a better description of the entering of Wehrmacht troops in the city, I used some interviews made to persons who were eye-witnesses to the events. Beside these, I obtained a lot of data from the local contemporary Hungarian and Romanian press, and several scientific publications and articles published recently. The main objective of this study is to realize an analysis of exact consequences of the German occupation of Kolozsvár in 1944 upon the population of the city, and especially upon the Jewish community. Through the description of the mass arrests of left wing sympathizers, and the collection of the Jews in ghettos, as well as the deportation process, I tried to present one of the most dramatic period of the old, historical city of Kolozsvár.
