The article presents the history of the Jewish community in Błonie. The first Jews arrived in the city around 1478 and their main sources of income were trade, the lease of goods, and loans. In the middle of the XVI century, restrictions on the settlement of Jews were put into place. Thus, in later years one does not find information certifying their presence. The Jewish people began to appear again in Błonie in the late XVIII century. At that time, the Jewish community was not large - in 1808, twenty Jews lived here, representing 2.5% of the population. Their numbers gradually increased, reaching 34.5% in 1897. In the interwar period, a fully-formed Jewish community with its own schools and organizations could be observed. The time of German occupation ended its existence

The JDC is an American Jewish organization that assists overseas Jewish communities in distress. It is responsible to “American Jewry” and those organizations that fund it. Bauer (1974, 19) argued that the JDC has been guided by its founding “pledge of impartiality – it steers clear of political involvements” and takes pride in being “probably the only really non-partisan organization in Jewish life.” This paper examines the role of the JDC in caring for Soviet émigrés who left on visas for Israel but chose to resettle elsewhere. They were known as “dropouts” (Noshrim in Hebrew). It also deals with the JDC policy toward recently settled Russian Jews who left Israel to resettle elsewhere. In its work with Soviet Jewish emigres did the JDC serve the interests of the Israeli government, its donors and or the emigres? Did the JDC abide by its pledge of impartiality? Did the JDC try to force them to resettle in Israel against their wishes? The paper focuses on the spring of 1976 when the number of dropouts outnumbered those resettling in Israel. This led to a joint committee of Israelis and American Jews to coordinate a response. The ‘freedom of choice’ debate ensued; should Soviet Jews resettle in Israel or have the freedom to choose where to resettle? The findings here are based on archival records in the JDC, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), the CJF (Jewish federations) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC). The author also conducted interviews and reviewed secondary sources. The paper should contribute to a better understanding of the JDC and its past ties to Israel and the American Jewish community.

Artykuł został poświęcony problematyce mniejszości żydowskiej w Polsce, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem efektów działalności Gminy Żydowskiej we Wrocławiu. Autorka postawiła tezę, iż w Polsce, w ostatnich dwóch dekadach zauważalna jest zmiana samopostrzegania się mniejszości żydowskiej, jak i sposobu jej komunikowania się z otoczeniem. Chodzi tu przede wszystkim o transformację tożsamości współczesnej kultury żydowskiej (odnawianie się jej), od wspomnień powiązanych prawie wyłącznie z Holokaustem i dramatem II wojny światowej do pełnej partycypacji w życiu społecznokulturalnym polskiego społeczeństwa. Autorka przytacza konkretne przykłady ponownego włączania się społeczności żydowskiej we współczesną kulturę polską oraz czynnego w niej uczestnictwa.

The article was devoted to the issues of the Jewish minorities in Poland, considering the effects of the activity of the Jewish commune in Wrocław. The author claimed that, over the past two decades in Poland, there has been a noticeable change in selfperception of the Jewish minority as well as in the way of the commune’s communicating with the environment. The point being made here is mainly related to the transformation of the modern Jewish culture identity (their renewal), from memories generally related to Holocaust and the drama of the II World War to complete participation in the sociocultural life of the Polish society. The author brings specific examples of the contemporary active participation of the Jewish society in the modern Polish culture.
