The volume consists of three very different parts. The first part includes documents related to the German aggression against Poland in 1939. They describe the first months of the war, mostly warfare, but focus is also given to the fate of Jewish soldiers – POWs. The second part contains private and official correspondence from and to the Jews of Kalisz sent between August 16, 1939 and December 31, 1941 from the Warthegau, the General Government, and from abroad. The third part contains the letters sent between February and June 1941 by the Jews deported in early 1941 from Płock to the General Government.

The volume contains the clandestine publications of Poale’ Zion Left and Poale’ Zion Right. This press almost entirely belongs to the propaganda-political type of publications. It covers three basic segments: war communications, texts concerning the present situation of the Jewish population and historical-ideological essays. All data are interpreted most often through the socialist-Zionist doctrine. The most detailed are articles on the Warsaw Ghetto. However the majority of space was devoted to reports from Palestine and visions of the post-war Jewish future. There are also extensive texts on Jewish and universal history and culture.

The volume contains the underground press published by Hechalutz-Dror and Gordonia, youth organizations politically affiliated with the Labor Zionism and belonging to the Hechalutz movement which trained pioneers for work in agricultural collective farms in Palestine. Publishing the underground press was a part of wide clandestine activity of the two organizations in the Warsaw ghetto. Their primary objective was to undertake the educational and formative activities addressed to the youth, including the reinstatement of the agricultural training farms. Education and training were among the most important subjects the press dealt with.

This volume consists of press materials issued probably from 1941 (or 1940) until 1943 by the right-wing circles: Agudat Israel, Betar (revisionists), General Zionists, and the so-called assimilators associated with the group Żagiew. In general their authors distanced themselves from leftist views but each community focused on the problems most important to them. For Agudat Israel, these were religious issues; for Betar – those related to the life and ideology of Vladimir Jabotinsky; for General Zionists – future life in Palestine and the current problems of education and upbringing; for Żagiew – the on-going struggle against the occupier and the post-war life in the restored Poland.

The volume contains the first complete edition of the diary of Abraham Lewin and the collection of other diaries and testimonies from the Warsaw ghetto. Abraham Lewin was a member of the executive board of Oneg Shabbat. His diary covers the period from April 1942 to January 1943 and is one of the most important documents dealing with history of the Warsaw ghetto, in particular with the great deportation of July–September 1942. Most of the other testimonies were written in 1941 and 1942. While some authors are anonymous, others are well-known associates of Oneg Shabbat, including Jechiel Górny, Eliasz Gutkowski, Menachem Mendel Kohn, Mordechaj Szwarcbard, and Nechemiasz Tytelman.

This volume illustrates the working and living conditions of the Jewish forced labourers in the labour camps. The testimonies refer mainly to the years 1940–1942 and to the places where Warsaw Jews worked: Bełżec, Chełm–Włodawa, Kampinos, Wilga, Łowicz and Drewnica. Part one of the volume features documents about the early stages of staying in the camps (roundups, medical examination before deportation to the camps, etc.) or general issues, while part two contains descriptions of individual camps. The testimonies are completed by some official German and Jewish documents.

The volume consists of a single document – a memoir of Cwi Pryłucki, dictated by the author to his daughters in the Warsaw ghetto. The twelve notebooks that survived in ARG cover the period 1905–1912. Cwi Pryłucki was a supporter of the Zionist movement and co-worker of the Hebrew press: the editor of the first Warsaw Jewish daily “Der Weg”, a co-editor of the newspaper “Unser Leben” and an editor-in-chief of the daily “Der Moment”. In his memoirs he mentions a number of figures important to the history of Jews in Eastern Europe and Eretz Israel before 1939.

In Polish literature, the story of Jews, their culture and its influence on the Polish society has been in circulation for over three hundred years. Since the 1940s, the Holocaust has delineated the story, testing linguistic efficiency and imagination, as well as forming a permanent reference point in the collective consciousness and one of the most important issues of Polish culture. It can be couched in the question, “How should we build relations with Jews?” Literature has been posing it in a virtually unchanged form for a century, failing to notice the long absence of the important addressee and interlocutor: Jews. The question about Polish relations with Jews, which has an extremely strong impact on writers, requires clarification. Firstly, it is not addressed only to Jewish recipients, but above all to Poles. Secondly, it is symbolic, not actual, and results from the overwhelming need to take over the dominant narrative of mutual relations and “set it up” in such a way that it would no longer be a stain on our history, but would allow us to purge ourselves of it, explain it or even write it anew. From the chapter, “What Unites Us?”

This monograph analyses the way that Jews were portrayed in various scholarly journals and lay gazettes published in French in the United Provinces of the Netherlands, mostly by Huguenot refugees. Many of these sources have previously escaped scholarly attention, and as such are valuable sources for exploration. The scholarly journals are mostly focused on the discussion of historical and theological aspects of Jewish people and Judaism, the origins of their language and its influence on others, and their customs and nuances related to worship. The lay gazettes discuss gossip and contemporary events, portraying the Jews as their editors see them. Jews were depicted in these sources in several unique ways which are identified in this study. Particular attention is given to the dimension of privacy, which provides an additional tool of analysis aimed at better understanding how these constructs were created. The final part of this book examines how Muslims in general and Turks in particular, as well as the Siamese, were portrayed in the same sources, in order to investigate whether they were treated differently than the Jews.

This book presents the background, course, and consequences of the Holocaust in Slovakia. Slovakia was the only country in Europe that voluntarily used its own resources to deport Slovak Jews to the death camps, while paying the German Reich for every Jew deported. The author draws on archival and contemporary press sources, as well as on the literature on the subject, to describe this process, while at the same time also touching on its Hungarian aspects. When describing the tragedy of Slovak Jewry, he does not confine himself to the end of the war, but also addresses the question of the reintegration of the surviving Jews into society and the resurgence of anti-Jewish sentiment in Slovakia after the war.

Creating performances for the celebration of important events is not a modern invention, but it is an extremely interesting phenomenon due to the ability to respond to the needs of given times, the range of impact (territorial and reception), and usually a short operating time. The fiftieth anniversary of March 1968 was full of performances dealing with the emigration of Polish citizens of Jewish origin who were forced to leave by launching an anti-Semitic campaign. In my paper, I will analyze the dramaturgy of three performances: “A Few Foreign Words in Polish” directed by Anna Smolar with a text by Michał Buszewicz created for a specific production, Michał Zadara's “Justice” as a theatrical investigation into a crime involving “King Oedipus” by Sophocles and “Notes from exile” directed by Magda Umer and adapted from a book by Sabina Baral. Despite the common starting point, which is the theme of the events of March 1968, the aforementioned performances are characterized by a different approach to both the undertaken problem and dramatic solutions. The main concept of the paper is "postmemory", that is the structure of the transfer of trauma between generations, and its subsequent redefinitions. An important issue will also be examining the relationship between memory and history, the function of photography and the principles of building a postmemory archive.
