Młodzież żydowska w katowickich szkołach powszechnych i średnich do 1939 roku
Jewish Youth in Katowice Elementary and Secondary Schools until 1939

Summary/Abstract: The Jewish religious school in Katowice was established in 1860 and was taken over by the municipality in 1875. Then the Jewish community set up the Private Hebrew Teaching Establishment in order to provide additional language and religion tuition. In subsequent years, Jewish youth also formed a significant group of secondary and higher school students in Katowice. After the end of World War I, together with Katowice becoming part of the Polish state, the system of schools run by religious unions was rebuilt. In 1926, the Berek Joselewicz Jewish school was opened. The educational offer also included the Talmud Tora School, the Hebrew Research Centre and the classes organized within the framework of the Jewish Youth Organization. Until the outbreak of World War II, Jewish youth also studied in general Catholic and Evangelical primary and secondary schools.
