Polish-Jewish Relations in Lublin During the Great War (1914–1916)

Abstract

This article examines Polish-Jewish relations in Lublin during World War I. A significant economic conflict emerged between the Polish and Jewish communities. The relatively low level of assimilation within the Jewish population, attributed to the substantial size of this community within the city, gave rise to considerable ethnic tensions. Despite this rivalry, the political dispute had no ideological (racist) basis. The struggle was rather centered on who would be the dominant force in the country after Poland regained its independence.

Keywords:

Polish-Jewish relations, “Myśl Żydowska” (Jewish Thought), “Ziemia Lubelska” (Lublin Land), “Głos Lubelski” (Lublin Voice), Lublin Jews
