Central Europe Review - Jews in Poland Polish anti-Semitism often becomes the central issue of these studies, when the real question is how one can account for the fact that the Jewish population in Poland went from around 10 per cent of the population before the war to about 0.5 per cent after. Jewish society and political parties were as fragmented as their Polish counterparts, and neither stability nor resolution were to be achieved by the end of the 1930s. Polish legend has it that the Polish King magnanimously opened his kingdom to the Jews, inviting them to settle and offering them full rights of citizenship and protection from harm. www.ce-review.org /00/4/rohozinska4.html

LNT Poland - Jews in Poland Jewish citizens were prominent in the fields of publishing, photography and motion pictures. Polish dukes and kings, such as Boleslaw Pobozny (1221-1279) and Kazimierz Wielki (1310-1370), appreciated their talents and thus granted them privileges and conditions for a peaceful life. There were about thirty dailies and over 130 Jewish periodicals in circulation just prior to the outbreak of the war in 1939; these figures do not include the publications of the many small provincial towns throughout the nation. cyberroad.com /poland/jews.html

The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Poland Polish nobility and landowners and Jewish merchants became partners in many business enterprises. Jewish religious life thrived in many Polish communities.

Polish Immigration Polish families did little about education, a luxury at the time, which helped account for their reputation. Polish immigrants have been emigrating to the US since they arrived with the Vikings, and Christopher Columbus but significant immigration did not occur until the 1800's. Polish immigration to America increased in 1776, the year of the American Revolution. nhs.needham.k12.ma.us /cur/kane98/kane_p3_immig/Poland/Polish.html

Religion in Eastern Europe It is also important to make Christians more sensitive to neglected and desolate Jewish shrines, such as synagogues and cemeteries, to helping preserve the spiritual and religious heritage of Polish Jews and to mitigating conflicts and tensions which arise from mutual mistrust and ignorance. Polish achievements in this respect should rather be compared to other post-Communist countries' situation. However, compared to other countries, the Jewish subject matter has in Poland its remarkable significance as for many centuries Jews had been intellectually, religiously, culturally and economically present in this country's life before it was violently interrupted by the Germans in World War II. www.georgefox.edu /academics/undergrad/departments/soc-swk/ree/CHROST_NEW.html

Release position paper on Polish-Jewish relations Among the topics covered are restitution of Jewish property confiscated by Nazis and Communists, the Jewish and Polish Holocausts, Soviet occupation of Poland, alleged Polish anti-Semitism, the cross at Auschwitz and historical truth. Jewish complaints about the presence of several smaller crosses within the former camp have resulted in the removal of all religious symbols. In present day Poland, the historic tolerance of this overwhelmingly Catholic nation is demonstrated by the election of a President who has Jewish antecedents, the popularity of a Foreign minister who is Jewish and the selection of a Prime Minister who is Protestant. www.masterpage.com.pl /outlook/art003.html

Polish Synagogues Jewish Law: An Introduction (Northvale, NJ: Jason Aronson, Inc., 1994). The multi-faceted Jewish life in Poland was tied together by the style of oneness, in the style of many-sided unity of the godhead, for what is style if not unity in diversity? Despair which turns into confidence is perhaps a part of the process of the drama of the oneness of the world, a play performed with so much feeling in the depths of the Jewish soul ( Polin 8, 322). ddickerson.igc.org /polish-synagogues.html

Ma³gorzata Dzieduszycka-Ziemilska - Polish-Jewish Relations Polish Jews are not only apart of our history; together we are creating our country. Jewish communities abroad have been very critical of the proposed 50% rate of compensation. Moreover, Jewish organisations abroad are demanding full restitution from Poland, contending that reservation of the rights of third parties would legalise the plunder of Jewish communal property by the Fascists and Communists. www.msz.gov.pl /warecka/yearbook/2000/druk/malgorzata_dzieduszycka_polish_jewish_relations.html

POLISH - JEWISH RELATIONS Jewish theater is preserved in Warsaw at the State Jewish Theater, the only professional Yiddish-language theater in Europe.

The Pinkas of the Chevra Kadisha of Slutsk Jewish newspaper research generally begins after the coronation of Alexander II in 1856, as most important periodicals were published after 1856. The chevra kadisha, literally "holy society," is the term used to describe the Jewish burial society, an organization that has existed in Jewish communities for centuries and still exists today throughout the world. Although we do not know how many Jewish cemeteries existed in Slutsk before the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917, the pinkas appears to refer only to one that was located toward the southern end of the town within a loop made by the Sluch River and to the east of it. www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org /slutsk/ChevraKadisha.html

USATODAY.com - Libeskind has a nation's healing in his hands Still, 18 months ago, hardly anyone in the USA knew Libeskind's name; even among architects, he was known mostly as a theoretician who had never built anything except the Jewish Museum in Berlin. People stop him on the street — with his diminutive stature and ever-present rectangular black glasses, he is instantly recognizable — and ask for his autograph. www.usatoday.com /news/nation/2004-10-13-libeskind-main_x.htm

After the Holocaust; Polish-Jewish Conflict in the Wake of World War II; Marek Jan Chodakiewicz This book traces the roots of Polish-Jewish conflict after the war, demonstrating that it was a two-sided phenomenon and not simply an extension of the Holocaust. The author argues that violence developed after the Soviet takeover of Poland amid postwar retribution and counter-retribution and was exacerbated by the breakdown of law and order and a raging Polish anti-Communist insurgency. Some Jewish avengers endeavored to extract justice from Poles who allegedly harmed Jews during the War and in some cases Jews attempted to reclaim property confiscated by the Nazis. www.columbia.edu /cu/cup/catalog/data/088033/0880335114.HTM
