What makes oral history different from any other history research method is the fact that a historian is actively involved in gathering information about events from the past. A category of performance borrowed from anthropology and ethnology shows that not only may a researcher influence a person narrating their story (e.g. by asking particular questions), it is also the storyteller who may influence the researcher, both in an existential as well as an epistemological dimension. The article discusses the problem of oral history research experience on the basis of an interview that the author carried out with the eighty-three-year old Kazimierz on the topic of the history of Międzyrzec Podlaski. The author presents the influence this interview had on her practicing oral history method as well as the history itself in a wider context.  A reflection on the experience of oral history understood as a kind of research intuition (J. Huizinga) and a form of experiencing a research situation (F. Ankersmit), allows for a closer look at the issue of a researchers’ self-awareness and as a result on factors influencing their way of gathering information and the process of constructing history narration.

Żydzi w Międzyrzecu Podlaskim w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej stanowili przeszło ¾ ogólnej liczby mieszkańców miasta. Tak duży odsetek musiał wpłynąć na działalność samorządową ich lokalnej społeczności. Niniejszy artykuł w swoim założeniu analizuje działalność Żydów w międzyrzeckiej Radzie Miejskiej w okresie międzywojennym. Kolejne części dotyczą aktywność Żydów w kolejnych kadencjach Rady. Szczególnie ważna była ich działalność w trakcie trwania III kadencji Rady, gdzie stanowili większość ogólnego jej składu. Pozwoliło to im na przegłosowywanie inicjatyw, które do tego czasu nie miały możliwości realizacji. Ustalenia poczynione w niniejszym artykule stanowią istotne uzupełnienie dotychczasowego stanu badań nad społecznością żydowską Międzyrzeca Podlaskiego.

Jews in Miedzyrzec Podlaski during the Second Polish Republic constituted more than three-quarters of the total number of city residents. Such a large percentage had to affect local government activities of local Jews. This article aims at describing the activity of Jews in Miedzyrzec City Council in the interwar period. The following sections present the activity of Jews in subsequent Council cadences. Jewish activities were particularly important during the third term of the Council where they constituted the majority of its general composition. It allowed them to vote on initiatives that had not been able to function by that time. The findings made in this article supplement the current state of research on the Jewish community of Miedzyrzec Podlaski.
