Aron Eisenstein (1902–1945) served as the rabbi of the religious community in Cieszyn from 1931, and was the first spiritual leader of the local Jewish community raised in the Polish spirit. He was born in the village of Stasiowa Wola near Stanisławów, studied history at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, then at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Wrocław, where he also attended the Jewish theological seminary of the Fraenkel Foundation. He completed his historical studies at the University of Vienna with a doctorate in history in 1929. In the first years of his work in Cieszyn, he was still involved in historical research, writing a doctoral thesis on the medieval origins of the old Jewish cemetery and the Jewish kehilla in Cieszyn. Above all, however, he became involved in politics as an active supporter of Zionism-revisionism, especially in 1938–1939. The Germans issued a warrant against him, therefore and at the beginning of the war he left Cieszyn with the Polish army. He went missing or died in unknown circumstances in 1945.

The article presents the activities of Alois Schwarz, a chemistry and natural history professor at the Landes- Oberrealschule (a type of regional high school) in Moravian Ostrava, author of numerous works and the organizer of international brewing congresses. He belonged to the social and political urban elite and he was a member of the city council for three terms. He also played an active role in local associations. In 1902, he founded a high school for girls, the Female High School (Mädchen- Lyzeum), which he managed for 20 years, promoting the model of modern education in the German language. He advocated the idea that Jews should adopt the German language and culture, which was believed to be universal, according to the general notion of humanism.

(Title in Roma language: Tikni lavustik katar-o b. 1881, kidime dre Cieszynosqero Slask). In a manuscript titled Notatki do Historyi Szlaska (Notes on the History of Silesia), which Jerzy Kotula, a Cieszyn's bookseller and a student of his region, had been writing from 1881, we may find three pages in which he put down Gypsy words with Polish translation. Kotula's source of information was Jozef Balasz, whom the author of this article tries to identify with the help of the existing documents from the 19th Century. The tiny dictionary presented in the article has been a modest contribution to the research on Gypsies from Cieszyn Silesia.
