Summary/Abstract: The book is an innovative study of the political history of Polish Jews in Israel, their cultural and intellectual heritage. It shows the process of adaptation of Polish Jews in Israeli society, transformation of their attitudes and views (in particular those of former communists) against the background of the Israeli political system, and their functioning in a clientelist network of party dependencies. It also presents biographies of journalists and authors of Jewish origin who left for Israel after World War II.
