The article focuses on the practices and actions undertaken by different Polish and Jewish activists, descendants of Polish Jews, and institutions, such as the Jewish Community in Warsaw, the Mazovian Voivodeship Conservators Office, municipal offices and private non-governmental organizations, in an effort to document, preserve and commemorate a Jewish cemetery in Sobienie-Jeziory, a small town situated near Warsaw. By presenting the approach of all these aforementioned stakeholders, I try to examine the issue of preserving and commemorating Jewish burial grounds in Poland, and their place in the local memory and the space of those living next to them, those who interact with Jewish heritage on an everyday basis. The issue raised is, whether Jewish heritage can be acknowledged as Polish national heritage by the State, or as local heritage by the local inhabitants of neighbouring Polish towns and villages. I also present the understanding of the status of graves and cemeteries within the Jewish law and tradition, and by the Jewish descendents of the deceased, and the actual maintenance of these sites.

Stratification of the cemetery’s space reflects the social structure of the city, revealing an internal hierarchy, the worldview and the tastes of the inhabitants. The message that a headstone conveys is a resultant of the communication intended by those who commissioned it and the historical context. The means of visual expression, as well as the nature of the embellishments are the necessary tools for its reading. This text is concerned with the possibilities of analysing and interpreting historical forms found at the Jewish cemetery in Łódź, taking into account the time when they were created, the location, the patron and the historical context.

The purpose of this article is to point the Jewish gravestone’s inscriptions as a source of interdisciplinary research. They contain for example the rich Biblical onomastics and phraseology and also a lot of citations from Bible – especially in eulogies and lamentations. The matzevot and inscriptions can be a starting point to the comparative studies on the level of language, theology, culture: including sepulchral tradition of Jews and Christians.

The Jewish community in Prostějov was historically one of the important Jewish communities in Moravia. Until the period of Nazi transports, the Jewish population was an important part of the city‘s inhabitants. In this article we present a description of events that led to the destruction of the old Jewish cemetery in Prostějov during the Holocaust. The devastation of the Jewish cemetery in Prostějov against the will of the Jewish religious community is not unique in the modern history of the Czech lands. During the Nazi occupation, totalitarian communist regime, but also in the post-war years 1945 to 1948, dozens of Jewish burial grounds were destroyed and destroyed. The case of Prostějov, however, shows in detail that “official argumentation” against Jewish religious traditions has continuously gone through various social arrangements

Die jüdische Gemeinde in Prostějov war historisch eine der wichtigsten jüdischen Gemeinden in Mähren. Bis zur Zeit der Nazi-Transporte war die jüdische Bevölkerung ein wichtiger Teil der Stadtbevölkerung. In diesem Artikel beschreiben wir Ereignisse, die zur Zerstörung des alten jüdischen Friedhofs in Prostějov während des Holocaust führten. Wir beschreiben die einzelnen Bemühungen der Stadt Prostějov, den jüdischen Friedhof in ihrem Besitz zu erwerben, als sie erstmals nach der Besetzung versuchte, ihn zu enteignen, um ihn 1943 aus dem Einwanderungsfonds für Böhmen und Mähren in Prag zu kaufen. Auf der Grundlage von Archivrecherchen, Zeugenaussagen und Feldforschungen konnten wir die Einzelheiten der Verwüstung des Friedhofs und der Verwendung von Grabsteinen für Bauzwecke während der Besetzung und nach Kriegsende beschreiben. Die Forschung konzentrierte sich auch auf die Frage der erfolglosen Rückgabe des Friedhofs durch die jüdische Religionsgemeinschaft in Prostějov in den Nachkriegsjahren und seines weiteren Schicksals, bis der Friedhofsbereich 2016 zum Kulturdenkmal erklärt wurde. Die Zerstörung des jüdischen Friedhofs in Prostějov gegen den Willen der jüdischen Religionsgemeinschaft Tschechische Länder der Dinge einzigartig. Während der nationalsozialistischen Besatzung, des totalitären kommunistischen Regimes, aber auch in den Nachkriegsjahren 1945 bis 1948 wurden Dutzende jüdischer Bestattungsplätze zerstört und zerstört. Der Fall Prostějov zeigt jedoch im Detail, dass die „offizielle Argumentation“ gegen jüdische religiöse Traditionen kontinuierlich verschiedene soziale Arrangements durchlaufen hat.

Artykuł, oparty na zapiskach Nachmana Blumentala odkrytych przeze mnie w czasie pracy nad jego archiwum, które wydobyłam na światło dzienne, oraz na dokumentacji dwóch śledztw, traktuje o współsprawstwie Polaków – mundurowych (policji granatowej) i cywilów – w nazistowskim projekcie Zagłady w powiecie dębickim podczas okupacji niemieckiej. Analizuję w nim mechanizm, który uruchamiał przemoc antysemicką w ramach Judenjagd, czyli polowania na Żydów. Dowodzę, że to postawa i zachowanie otoczenia zadecydowały o skuteczności niemieckiego nazistowskiego projektu prześladowania i mordowania wszystkich Żydów bez wyjątku. Grupa większościowa odgrywa rolę „drugiej instancji” (Elżbieta Janicka). Rekonstruując zbrodnię na Arielu Blumentalu i Marii Blumentalowej w czerwcu 1943 roku w Brzezinach, Małej i Wielopolu Skrzyńskim oraz dekonstruując mistyfikację zbrodni przez mieszkańców, pokazuję, na czym polega proces i jak funkcjonuje mechanizm samoprzedstawiania się jako osoby niezaangażowanej. „Obserwatorzy uczestniczący” (Elżbieta Janicka) maskują bowiem własny udział w zamordowaniu rodziny Nachmana Blumentala. Moje zadanie polega zatem na interpretacji tego, co zostało powiedziane, i tego, co nie zostało powiedziane. Zbrodnia, o której traktuje artykuł, jest emblematyczna w tym sensie, że rzuca światło na ramę społeczno-kulturową i na krajobraz Zagłady. Pokazuje samotność ukrywających się, wydanych i skazanych na śmierć przez sąsiadów.

This article – which is based on the records of Nachman Blumental that I discovered as part of my work on his archive material and that I brought to light, as well as on the documentation of two official investigations – deals with the complicity of Poles – uniformed (the policja granatowa, or Blue Police) and civilians – in the Nazi project to kill every Jew without exception in Dębica County during the German occupation. I analyze the mechanism that set in motion antisemitic violence within the framework of the Judenjagd, i.e. the Jew hunt. I argue that it was attitudes and behaviors in the environment that determined the effectiveness of the German Nazi project to persecute and murder all Jews without exception. The majority group plays the role of “second instance” (Elżbieta Janicka). By reconstructing the crime against Ariel Blumental and Maria Blumental in June 1943 in Brzeziny, Mała and Wielopole Skrzyńskie, and by deconstructing the mystification of the crime by the inhabitants, I uncover the foundations of this process and show how the mechanism of self-representation as non-involved functions. “Participating observers” (Elżbieta Janicka) mask their own participation in the murder of Nachman Blumental’s family. The task, then, is to interpret both what is said and what is not said. The crime discussed in the article is emblematic in that it sheds light on the socio-cultural framework of the Holocaust and its landscape. It shows the loneliness of those who were hiding, handed over and sentenced to death by their neighbors.
