Szprachnkamf. Z dziejów wojny językowej w getcie warszawskim
Shprakhnkamf. The History of the Language War in Warsaw Ghetto

Summary/Abstract: The documents preserved in the Ringelblum archive confirm the existence of an intense antagonism in the Warsaw ghetto between the Yiddish-speaking milieu and the Polonized intelligentsia. Based on these unique sources the author sought to map the course, manifestations and consequences of this animosity. She also determined the origins thereof. There are many indications that there were quite complex reasons for the discord. On the one hand, this was a sequel to an age-old conflict between both milieux, while on the other there was the defence of current interests.
