| | Jewish population decline in Posen |
 | | In the east, (Kreise Wreschen, Jarotschin, Schroda, Schrimm, Koschmin, Krotoschin, Pleschen), where Poles were the majority, but not so overwhelmingly (244070 Poles, 58847 Germans) that the Settlement Commission didn't find opportunity to act, the emigration of Jews, on account of pressure from both sides, has been particularly large, especially in recent times. |
 | | The battle that developed in consequence had the result that, attacked by the Poles and disregarded by the Germans, the Jews found themselves ground up by both sides and were completely forced to emigrate. |
 | | In the past, small cities had paid mayors who were Jews; the capital of Posen was led by a Jew for years, who governed the city in place of the mayor who'd not been approved; in many cities Jews are and were presidents of the city council. |
