Summary/Abstract: In this article we analyze one interview that is part of an oral history project about Jewish settlement in Lower Silesia entitled “Love in the ruins: the history of Jewish settlement in Lower Silesia 1945–1972.” All the interviews, including the one that is presented here, are focused on everyday life, growing up, emotions, and relationships of Polish Jews in Lower Silesia after World War II. The gender of the narrator plays a significant role in this project. Oral history is a medium in which we can acknowledge the experiences of the Jewish community that are not described in other sources, such as documents created by the Jewish Committee, reports from Jewish clubs, or even in written memoirs.
