Summary/Abstract: In a perspective resulted after a refugee crisis – necessary in education – social (un)foreignness, I summon an idea and a course of an academic lesson carried out in II secondary school in Chojnice. On a wider background pogroms (and social violence) and in a narrower context of pogrom in Kielce a three poems were compared during this lesson: Pieśń o zabiciu Andrzeja Tęczyńskiego [anonymous, end of 15th century], which belongs to school canon of medieval poems; Pieśń o zabiciu „Nurta Nowego”[„Arkusz” 1996, nr 11] – current literary and environmental joke which is based on a paraphrase on a canonical text; Julian Kornhauser’s Wiersz o zabiciu doktora Kahane [from the cycle Żydowska piosenka, from the book of poetry Kamyk i cień, 1996] – directly referring to the pogrom in Kielce (4th July, 1946) and being a literary allusion to medieval song. I made the Anna Szumańska’s emphatic poems from 28th July, 1946 (a direct reaction for the pogrom in Kielce) and a current “interventional” poem by Piotr Mitzner entitled Obraz (from the book of poetry Siostra, 2019) the compositional frame of my article.
