Both documents are letters that were sent from Poland in 1946 to friends in America. They concern the fate and experiences of the authors in the period immediately after World War II, talk about the mood both among Poles and among Jews. As the letters are of a strictly private nature, the statements contained in them constitute valuable, uncensored testimony of Polish-Jewish relations during that period. The first document (a set of three letters) comes from a private collection. Its author's name remains unknown because she was hiding during the Nazi occupation in Warsaw using an alias and forged 'Aryan' ID. Neither is anything known about the person to whom the letter was addressed. The second document comes from YIVO Archives in New York, it was written by Jakub Rozenberg, an activist of the Jewish Committee in Dzierzoniów, and addressed to prominent historian Jakub Szacki.

The communication refers to archive documents edited by Slawomir Manko, published in 'Kwartalnik Historii Zydow' (2005; No. 4(216)). The terse information contained in the Report of the Town Sanitary Commission (from 1938) is enlivened by details concerning traders, shopkeepers and their families, and life in Miedzyrzec Podlaski in the inter-war period in general. These details, kept over many decades in the memory of the town's inhabitant, made it possible to recreate the picture of life in a small township, the coexistence of the Christians and the Jews, and also to revive the memory of some of its Jewish inhabitants. The article helps to broaden the knowledge of Polish-Jewish coexistence in the years preceding World War II.
