The School of Szymon Askenazy: The Case of Kazimierz Woźnicki (1878–1949)

Summary/Abstract: Szymon Askenazy was one of the most eminent Polish historians of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centu- ries. At the University of Lwów, he created a historical school from which outstand- ing scholars emerged. Its hallmark was the publishing series entitled “Monographs in Modern History”. Askenazy’s private sem- inar was attended by students represent- ing various political views. Among them was a strong group of National Democracy sympathisers and members of the Associ- ation of the Polish Youth “Zet”. Kazimierz Woźnicki, associated with it, did not study in Lwów but cooperated with Askenazy, who saw in him a well-educated represent- ative of the younger generation, capable not only of meeting academic challenges but also of becoming involved in the defence of the Polish cause.
