Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the issue of Lasik Roitschwantz’s (the main character of „The Stormy Life Of Lasik Roitschwantz” by Ilya Ehrenburg) Jewish language attributes in the Polish translation of the novel. The author of the paper pays particular attention to the analysis of particles, exclamations, conjuctions, personal pronouns in their conjugation forms and sentence structure. As a result, the article implies that in the majority of cases Jewish language attributes got lost in Polish translation, however, it is partly compensated by the translation of Лазик (the character’s name) as Lejzorek.
